Minerals are a type of material in EVE Online that is obtained by reprocessing ore or, additionally, by reprocessing equipment, and used in manufacturing of nearly all items.
There are 8 base minerals:
Tritanium,
Pyerite,
Mexallon,
Isogen,
Nocxium,
Zydrine,
Megacyte,
Morphite.
For the minerals that are reprocessed from Moon Ore see Moon mining#Moon Ore Refining.
Reprocessing yield
- See also: Asteroids and ore
Reason: All available locations changed with the October 2020 Version 18.10 Patch.
The following tables list the mineral content (gross yield) of each ore type. Compressed and uncompressed ores require 100 units to reprocess; the obsolete batch compressed ore requires 1 unit that represents a batch of 100. +5%/+10% ore varieties are not included in the tables.
Note that actual yield (net, or less than the gross yield) will depend on reprocessing equipment, player skills, level of reprocessing implant (if any), and corporation standings if using an NPC station.
Cells highlighted in green denote that the ore is the best source of that mineral per m3.
The first table shows reprocessing value of 100 units of each ore.
