Websites like [http://eve.grismar.net/ore/ Grismar's Ore Chart] or [http://gunfleet.org/igb/mining.php .GUN.] can look up the current market prices for ores and minerals, and give you a recommendation which ores are the most profitable. Remember to double-check the prices that any automated tools give you - they will often use regional averages to determine mineral prices; if you plan to sell your goods at a specific station or hub then your priorities might come out differently. Lastly, don't forget that most ore types are only found in a [[Asteroids and Ore#Asteroid distribution|certain part of New Eden]], and most miners prefer to operate only in certain parts of space. | Websites like [http://eve.grismar.net/ore/ Grismar's Ore Chart] or [http://gunfleet.org/igb/mining.php .GUN.] can look up the current market prices for ores and minerals, and give you a recommendation which ores are the most profitable.

Once you have chosen what kind of ore you would like to mine, you will want to maximise the quantity you mine over time. This involves choosing what [[Mining Ships|ship]] to mine in, what [[ORE_Basic_Ship_and_Skill_Guide#Fitting_strategies_and_mining_modules|modules]] to fit to it, and what [[Mining#Skills|skills]] to train; see those links for more details. | Once you have chosen what kind of ore you would like to mine, you will want to maximise the quantity you mine over time.
