| If you mine from a stand-still, as you would in high sec, you will be vulnerable to being scrammed and webbed by aggressors before you can warp away. On the other hand, if your ship is aligned towards a warp-out point, and moving at least 75% of its maximum speed, you can warp out immediately at the first sign of trouble. This means that constructing alignment [[bookmarks]] is an important part of wormhole mining. For ops that Antei FC's, he will supply you with a container of bookmarks at the beginning of the op, including bookmarks for the wormhole entry and exit, and some that are specific to the ice belt or ore anomaly. The bookmarks have a particular naming format, modeled after [http://www.agony-unleashed.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bookmarks Agony Unleashed's format], that looks like this:
| | Wormhole ice belts are gigantic, often 400 km or more across. Because Procurers are slow, it will be easiest for them to mine where you want them if the FC makes some bookmarks in advance. Before the op, just warp to the belt, bookmark every ice rock that you want your fleet to mine, and then distribute these bookmarks in advance. The FC should also make a couple of bookmarks for the placement of Mobile Tractor Units that will collect everyone's cans to a few central locations. When I FC wormhole ops, I usually supply miners with a container of bookmarks at the beginning of the op, including bookmarks for the wormhole entry and exit, any alternative exits, a couple of safe spots (usually including the booster's safe), all of the ice locations, and the tractor locations. |

| | | Miners will jet-can ore, just as they do in a high-sec shared-can op, but cans will be immediately tractored. Cans are vulnerable to attack in WH space, so they need to be scooped quickly. As a result, miners shouldn't worry about naming your cans. |

| Examples:
| |
| | |
| '''.Sie WH->C1 ABC'''<br/>
| |
| ''Wormhole, passing from Sierra to a C1 wormhole. In the Probe Scanner window, the signature would have an ID tag that starts with the three-letter code "ABC". A period at the beginning of the bookmark indicates a wormhole that heads away from campus; an asterisk indicates a wormhole that points back to campus.''
| |
| | |
| '''C1 Ice1'''<br/>
| |
| ''Warp-in point in an ice belt. If there is more than one warp-in point, they will be numbered.''
| |
| | |
| '''C1 Align1'''<br/>
| |
| ''Off-grid alignment/warp-out point, >1000 km away from the warp-in point. Miners aligned to this point can warp out immediately.''
| |
| | |
| '''C1 TAC WHexit @500k'''<br/>
| |
| ''Off-axis tactical bookmark, 500 km from the exit wormhole. Miners can warp to this tactical bookmark to check whether the wormhole has been bubbled by an enemy, or to otherwise check the wormhole with D-Scan.''
| |
| | |
| '''SCOUT P5 @2AU''' ''or''<br/>
| |
| '''DEEP SAFE P5 @18AU'''<br/>
| |
| ''Un-aligned safe spot. Closest celestial is planet V, 2 (or 18) AU away. Deep safes are always greater than 14.3 AU (maximum D-scan range) away from any celestial.''<br/>

| Miners will warp to their assigned warp-in point, and then always "Align To" one of the two opposing warp-out points at at least 75% max velocity. In case of danger, just warp out! In this scheme, miners are only vulnerable while they are reversing direction, switching between the "Align1" and "Align2" alignment bookmark because they have reached the edge of their mining range. If you are receiving mining range boosts, and if your Procurer is fitted with a Higgs rig, you will only need to reverse direction once every 15 minutes or so, and it will only take you 5 seconds to return to 75% max velocity when you do.

| Miners will jet-can ore, just as they do in a high-sec shared-can op, but cans will be immediately tractored by a central Mobile Tractor Unit, where they can be easily scooped by the fleet hauler. Cans are vulnerable to attack in WH space, so they need to be scooped quickly. As a result, don't worry about naming your cans. | |
