Mining

Unfortunately, the acceleration gate is limited to frigate or destroyer-sized ships, so only mining frigates or expedition frigates can enter the site to mine.

The site will stay loaded provided the Guristas Control Center is not destroyed. If it is destroyed, staying inside the site will keep it loaded. You can use an alt for this purpose. You may also briefly leave the site to drop off ore, but if the site is too far away from your drop-off point, the site may despawn if nobody is inside. It is best to leave someone in the site if possible just in case.

It is recommended to use an Endurance to mine the site, as its larger mining hold will minimize drop-offs to unload your cargo. It also lets you use light scout drones to defeat all rats in each pocket and reinforcements that include ECM rats. Prospect can be used but it has no good way to deal with ECM rats and will get jammed and its mining hold is smaller. Venture is a good option if you don't have the skills for expedition frigates.

In order of profitability, it is best to prioritize the Hemorphite first, then the Omber and lastly the Jaspet.
