Interstitial Ore Deposits are ore anomalies that can spawn in sovereign nullsec systems from an escalation after finishing an anomaly which was spawned by an active Ore Prospecting Array. Like other ore anomalies, it is neither gated nor deadspace, so making bookmarks and warping around in it are possible. It will appear on the overview of everybody in system once warp has been initiated to it, and it will despawn after 24 hours, regardless of any mining activity.

The anomaly is roughly spherical in shape, with a diameter of about 200 kilometers. The warp-in beacon is in the center.

Version 23.02 - 2025-11 The catalyst expansion in November 2025 changed the ore variable's names from individual words to the Grade system. This change was not mentioned in the expansion notes. As of 27 November 2025 these names are still mentioned in the ore info's description tab. Version 22.01 - 2024-07-18 (Patch notes) The mining escalation site has been renamed from Shrouded Asteroid Belt to Interstitial Ore Deposit. The amount of ore in it has more than doubled, the types of ore have been replaced by Abyssal ores, and its shape is now spherical. Version 22.01 - 2024-06-11 - Equinox (Expansion notes) The mining escalation is introduced. A screenshot is available on Reddit. |
