Mining is the profession of extracting ore from asteroids, ice from ice fields and gas from gas clouds. These materials can then be [[Refining|refined]] into minerals, ice products and Gas Cloud/boosters. These refined substances are used in the production and maintenance of all player created items and structures in EVE, such as ships and modules. It is one of the few professions immediately available to beginning players and most EVE industrialists started their careers by mining. Mining is perhaps the second most economically safe profession in EVE, save [[Planetary Interaction]], in [[High Security|highsec]] systems. Losing mining ships and/or being podded is uncommon and minerals are always in demand. Mining can be accomplished by finding an asteroid site, or belt in a system and mining its asteroids with mining lasers.
