'''Ore''' is the basic material found in the various '''asteroid''' fields throughout EVE. In their native form asteroid ores cannot be used, but must be [[reprocessing|reprocessed]] into minerals, which can then be used for ship and equipment [[Manufacturing|manufacture]].

{{Update|Need additional table information for border/A0 and Pochven asteroids.}}

'''Asteroids''' are large irregular chunks of rock that can be found in many places throughout New Eden. When mined, asteroids yield '''ore''' which, when refined, produces minerals of various types that serve as the basic building blocks of almost every [[Manufacturing|craftable]] item.

=== Asteroid belts ===
 
=== Asteroid belts ===
 +
Virtually every star system in EVE (with the notable exception of Jita) has at least one asteroid belt. Most star systems have several -- up to more than a dozen in some cases. These belts are listed on the [[overview]] and the right-click menu, and can have two kinds of geometry: one is a rough semicircle of asteroids, approximately 50 km in diameter, the other being asteroids dispersed over a spherical volume with a radius of about 70 km. A ship warping to an asteroid belt's beacon (through the right-click menu or the overview) will warp to the center of the asteroids. Note that mining lasers have an (unboosted) range of only 10-15 km, so in order to mine asteroids a ship has to fly closer to the belt after warping in. If you want to save on travel time, you can warp to [[Mining#Bookmarks|mining bookmarks]] instead.

A given belt will have a mixture of asteroids containing different ores. The mixture and size of the asteroids (i.e. how much ore each asteroid contains) is determined by the system's location in the EVE universe and its security status (see [[#Asteroid distribution|asteroid distribution]] below). Each asteroid belt contains a finite number of asteroids (which disappear once fully mined), but the asteroids respawn after [[downtime]] if there are no asteroids left. The website [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/ Dotlan] has maps showing the number of belts per system.

Mineable asteroids can also spawn in [[deadspace]] pockets, such as the ones created for missions. Unlike asteroid belts, these are not organized into a set shape. Some are composed of dense clumps of asteroids, while others are scattered fields. For a list of which missions' deadspace pockets contain asteroids, see [[Mission Mining]] or [http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MiningInMissions Eve-survival].

Lastly, one kind of [[Cosmic Anomaly|cosmic anomaly]] contains asteroids (the others contains hostile rats). The asteroids in cosmic anomalies tend to be a little larger and contain rarer ore than the normal asteroid belts in a star system. However, unlike asteroid belts, once all the asteroids in the anomaly have been mined, the anomaly disappears.

Lastly, one of the two kinds of [[Cosmic Anomaly|cosmic anomaly]] contains asteroids (the others contains hostile rats). The asteroids in cosmic anomalies tend to be a little larger and contain rarer ore than the normal asteroid belts in a star system. However, unlike asteroid belts, once all the asteroids in the anomaly have been mined, the anomaly disappears after broadcasting a short message in Local. As with all cosmic anomalies, new anomalies spawn semi-randomly.
  
 
Note that in many locations you will find decorative asteroids, which cannot be mined or otherwise interacted with. These will have colorful names such as "Snake-shaped Asteroid".

There are different types of asteroid cosmic anomalies, named by what kinds of ores are contained within. Each type comes in several variants (small, medium, average, and large) – the "larger" the anomaly, the more asteroids (and hence the more ore) it contains. A "Small Kernite and Omber Deposit" therefore contains a small number of Kernite and Omber asteroids, while a "Large Bistot Deposit" contains a large number of Bistot asteroids. Different types may have different number of variants. Smaller anomalies tend to contain only base ore variety and larger ones contain all three variaties (base, +5% and +10%).
 +
 +
The following chart illustrates the makeup of cosmic anomalies.
 +
==== High security space ====
 +
{{see also|High-sec}}
 +
Highsec does not have ore anomalies, the exceptions being border ores (see further) and [[Asteroid Belt Remnants]] anomaly in new players spawn areas which contain Veldspar.
 +
 +
==== Low security space ====
 +
{{see also|Low-sec}}
 +
* Jaspet ([[Medium Jaspet Deposit|medium]])
 +
* Gneiss ([[Small Gneiss Deposit|small]] • [[Average Gneiss Deposit|average]] • [[Large Gneiss Deposit|large]])
 +
* Dark Ochre and Gneiss ([[Small Dark Ochre and Gneiss Deposit|small]] • [[Average Dark Ochre and Gneiss Deposit|average]] • [[Large Dark Ochre and Gneiss Deposit|large]])
 +
* Crokite and Dark Ochre ([[Small Crokite and Dark Ochre Deposit|small]] • [[Average Crokite and Dark Ochre Deposit|average]] • [[Large Crokite and Dark Ochre Deposit|large]])
 +
* Crokite, Dark Ochre and Gneiss ([[Small Crokite, Dark Ochre and Gneiss Deposit|small]] • [[Average Crokite, Dark Ochre and Gneiss Deposit|average]] • [[Large Crokite, Dark Ochre and Gneiss Deposit|large]])
 +
* Hedbergite, Hemorphite and Jaspet ([[Small Hedbergite, Hemorphite and Jaspet Deposit|small]] • [[Average Hedbergite, Hemorphite and Jaspet Deposit|average]] • [[Large Hedbergite, Hemorphite and Jaspet Deposit|large]])
 +
* Spodumain, Crokite and Dark Ochre ([[Small Spodumain, Crokite and Dark Ochre Deposit|small]] • [[Average Spodumain, Crokite and Dark Ochre Deposit|average]] • [[Large Spodumain, Crokite and Dark Ochre Deposit|large]]){{verify|title= This one does not seem to exist anymore.}}
 +
 +
==== Null security space ====
 +
{{see also|Null-sec}}
 +
 +
* Bistot ([[Small Bistot Deposit|small]] • [[Average Bistot Deposit|average]] • [[Large Bistot Deposit|large]])
 +
* Arkonor and Bistot ([[Small Arkonor and Bistot Deposit|small]] • [[Medium Arkonor and Bistot Deposit|medium]] • [[Average Arkonor and Bistot Deposit|average]] • [[Large Arkonor and Bistot Deposit|large]])
 +
* Mercoxit, Arkonor and Bistot ([[Small Mercoxit, Arkonor and Bistot Deposit|small]] • [[Average Mercoxit, Arkonor and Bistot Deposit|average]] • [[Large Mercoxit, Arkonor and Bistot Deposit|large]])
 +
* Dark Ochre ''(Small, Average, Large)''
 +
* Gneiss ''(Small, Average, Large)''
 +
* Kernite ''(Small, Average, Large)''
 +
* Spodumain ''(Small, Average, Large)''
 +
 +
=== Wormholes ===
 +
Arkonor, Bistot, Gneiss, Kernite, Omber, and Pyroxeres deposits may be found in wormholes.
 +
 +
=== Pochven ===
 +
With the creation of [[Pochven]], new ore types were added to the game which can only be found in these areas. Bezdnacine, Rakovene, and Talassonite are the new ores, while Spodumain and Mercoxit can also be found there, with Mercoxit only spawning in home systems.
 +
 +
=== Ore Prospecting Arrays ===
 +
In player-owned [[Sovereignty|sovereign nullsec]], it is possible to deploy {{co|wheat|Ore Prospecting Arrays}}, a deployable sovereignty structure which, when deployed in a system, periodically generates asteroid clusters of various sizes at set intervals.
 +
 +
All sizes of asteroid clusters are capable of spawning regardless of system security status, and all clusters of a given size contain the same volume of ore, but asteroid clusters in lower security levels will spawn the more valuable ore variants with greater frequency. With the exception of Small Asteroid Clusters (which lack Mercoxit), all clusters contain varying amounts of all nullsec ore types: Arkonor, Bistot, Crokite, Dark Ochre, Gneiss, Spodumain, and Mercoxit.
 +
 +
:[[Small Asteroid Cluster]] • [[Medium Asteroid Cluster]] • [[Large Asteroid Cluster]] • [[Enormous Asteroid Cluster]] • [[Colossal Asteroid Cluster]]
 +
 +
Respawn cooldown to all Asteroid Cluster anomalies scales based on the size of the anomaly:{{Plainlist|
 +
* 1 hour for the Small Asteroid Cluster
 +
* 2 hours for the Medium Asteroid Cluster
 +
* 3 hours for the Large Asteroid Cluster
 +
* 4 hours for the Enormous Asteroid Cluster
 +
* 5 hours for the Colossal Asteroid Cluster

Each of these four quarters has its own set of asteroid types. Additionally, the lower the [[Security Rating|security rating]] of a system, the rarer the asteroid types that can be found there. Finally, each system can also include all the asteroid types of same-quarter higher-security systems. For example, a Gallente system with a security rating of 0.7 will not only include Omber asteroids, but also Veldspar, Scordite, and Plagioclase asteroids. The following table also includes the distribution of {{co|slateblue|ice asteroids}}. For more details, see [[Ice Mining]].

In general, the rarer the ore, the higher its volume per unit (e.g. one unit of Veldspar has a volume of 0.1&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, whereas one unit of Arkonor has a volume of 16&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>). Since mining lasers mine a given ''volume'' of ore per minute, it takes longer to mine the rarer ore types. Additionally, each ore reprocesses into a different set of minerals. For details, see [[Reprocessing]].

The Resource Distribution update on December 17, 2019 removed Veldspar and Spodumain from Null Sec Asteroid belts, and reduced the value of the largest Ore Prospecting Anomalies. It is as of yet unclear if the removed ore types were replaced with others at different security levels and classes. See [https://www.eveonline.com/article/q2tmpn/resource-distribution this dev post] for the official announcement, which deliberately came 3 days after the change.

Otherwise they are identical in every way to their base ore, and are found in the same regions, but in lower quantities. For instance, if an asteroid belt has Omber asteroids, it will also have some Silvery Omber asteroids and a few Golden Omber asteroids. If you get the chance, you should always mine the higher-yield variants before mining the base ore.

{{expansion past | On 3/30/2020, CCP pushed a [https://www.eveonline.com/article/q7v1q4/moon-mineral-distribution-update previously announced] but unscheduled update that changed moon ore distribution across all types of space. Prior to this change, moons could provide asteroid ores with +15% reprocessing yield. These ores are no longer obtainable outside of trading with players.
 +
 +
These ores were called; Stable Veldspar, Glossy Scordite, Opulent Pyroxeres, Sparkling Plagioclase, Platinoid Omber, Resplendant Kernite, Immaculate Jaspet, Scintillating Hemorphite, Lustrous Hedbergite, Brilliant Gneiss, Jet Ochre, Pellucid Crokite, Dazzling Spodumain, Flawless Arkonor, Cubic Bistot. There is no Mercoxit +15% variant.}}

This page should be updated due to game changes.
Reason: Need additional table information for border/A0 and Pochven asteroids.

Asteroids are large irregular chunks of rock that can be found in many places throughout New Eden. When mined, asteroids yield ore which, when refined, produces minerals of various types that serve as the basic building blocks of almost every craftable item.

Where to find asteroids

An asteroid belt. The ship in the middle is sitting at the warp-in point.
Asteroid belt geometry

Asteroid belts

Virtually every star system in EVE (with the notable exception of Jita) has at least one asteroid belt. Most star systems have several -- up to more than a dozen in some cases. These belts are listed on the overview and the right-click menu, and can have two kinds of geometry: one is a rough semicircle of asteroids, approximately 50 km in diameter, the other being asteroids dispersed over a spherical volume with a radius of about 70 km. A ship warping to an asteroid belt's beacon (through the right-click menu or the overview) will warp to the center of the asteroids. Note that mining lasers have an (unboosted) range of only 10-15 km, so in order to mine asteroids a ship has to fly closer to the belt after warping in. If you want to save on travel time, you can warp to mining bookmarks instead.

A given belt will have a mixture of asteroids containing different ores. The mixture and size of the asteroids (i.e. how much ore each asteroid contains) is determined by the system's location in the EVE universe and its security status (see asteroid distribution below). Each asteroid belt contains a finite number of asteroids (which disappear once fully mined), but the asteroids respawn after downtime if there are no asteroids left. The website Dotlan has maps showing the number of belts per system.

Deadspace pockets

Mineable asteroids can also spawn in deadspace pockets, such as the ones created for missions. Unlike asteroid belts, these are not organized into a set shape. Some are composed of dense clumps of asteroids, while others are scattered fields. For a list of which missions' deadspace pockets contain asteroids, see Mission mining or EVE-survival.

Cosmic anomalies

Lastly, one of the two kinds of cosmic anomaly contains asteroids (the others contains hostile rats). The asteroids in cosmic anomalies tend to be a little larger and contain rarer ore than the normal asteroid belts in a star system. However, unlike asteroid belts, once all the asteroids in the anomaly have been mined, the anomaly disappears after broadcasting a short message in Local. As with all cosmic anomalies, new anomalies spawn semi-randomly.

Note that in many locations you will find decorative asteroids, which cannot be mined or otherwise interacted with. These will have colorful names such as "Snake-shaped Asteroid".

There are different types of asteroid cosmic anomalies, named by what kinds of ores are contained within. Each type comes in several variants (small, medium, average, and large) – the "larger" the anomaly, the more asteroids (and hence the more ore) it contains. A "Small Kernite and Omber Deposit" therefore contains a small number of Kernite and Omber asteroids, while a "Large Bistot Deposit" contains a large number of Bistot asteroids. Different types may have different number of variants. Smaller anomalies tend to contain only base ore variety and larger ones contain all three variaties (base, +5% and +10%).

The following chart illustrates the makeup of cosmic anomalies.

  • Arkonor and Bistot (small • medium • average • large)
  • Mercoxit, Arkonor and Bistot (small • average • large)
  • Dark Ochre (Small, Average, Large)
  • Gneiss (Small, Average, Large)
  • Kernite (Small, Average, Large)
  • Spodumain (Small, Average, Large)

Wormholes

Arkonor, Bistot, Gneiss, Kernite, Omber, and Pyroxeres deposits may be found in wormholes.

Pochven

With the creation of Pochven, new ore types were added to the game which can only be found in these areas. Bezdnacine, Rakovene, and Talassonite are the new ores, while Spodumain and Mercoxit can also be found there, with Mercoxit only spawning in home systems.

Ore Prospecting Arrays

In player-owned sovereign nullsec, it is possible to deploy Ore Prospecting Arrays, a deployable sovereignty structure which, when deployed in a system, periodically generates asteroid clusters of various sizes at set intervals.

All sizes of asteroid clusters are capable of spawning regardless of system security status, and all clusters of a given size contain the same volume of ore, but asteroid clusters in lower security levels will spawn the more valuable ore variants with greater frequency. With the exception of Small Asteroid Clusters (which lack Mercoxit), all clusters contain varying amounts of all nullsec ore types: Arkonor, Bistot, Crokite, Dark Ochre, Gneiss, Spodumain, and Mercoxit.

Small Asteroid Cluster • Medium Asteroid Cluster • Large Asteroid Cluster • Enormous Asteroid Cluster • Colossal Asteroid Cluster

Respawn cooldown to all Asteroid Cluster anomalies scales based on the size of the anomaly:

  • 1 hour for the Small Asteroid Cluster
  • 2 hours for the Medium Asteroid Cluster
  • 3 hours for the Large Asteroid Cluster
  • 4 hours for the Enormous Asteroid Cluster
  • 5 hours for the Colossal Asteroid Cluster

Asteroid distribution

An asteroid belt, as seen on the overview. Note the belt's warp-in point (marked with an inverted triangle), as well as the variety of different asteroid types (all labelled according to what kind of ore they contain).
For the distribution of ice asteroids, see Ice distribution.

The EVE universe can be divided into four quarters:

  • The Amarr quarter (includes systems held by the Amarr, Ammatar, Khanid, Blood Raiders, and Sansha's Nation)
  • The Caldari quarter (includes systems held by the Caldari and Guristas)
  • The Gallente quarter (includes systems held by the Gallente and Serpentis)
  • The Minmatar quarter (includes systems held by the Minmatar and Angel Cartel)

Each of these four quarters has its own set of asteroid types. Additionally, systems with different security rating have different asteroid types.

In general, the rarer the ore, the higher its volume per unit (e.g. one unit of Veldspar has a volume of 0.1 m3, whereas one unit of Arkonor has a volume of 16 m3). Since mining lasers mine a given volume of ore per minute, it takes longer to mine the rarer ore types. Additionally, each ore reprocesses into a different set of minerals. For details, see Reprocessing.

Note that mining Mercoxit requires the Deep Core Mining skill as well as special mining modules (Deep Core Miners or Deep Core Strip Miners). All other ore types can be mined with all types of ore mining lasers or strip miners.

Ore variants

Each asteroid type has two extra subtypes that yield more (+5% / +10%) minerals when reprocessed. Otherwise they are identical in every way to their base ore, and are found in the same regions, but in lower quantities. For instance, if an asteroid belt has Omber asteroids, it will also have some Silvery Omber asteroids and a few Golden Omber asteroids. If you get the chance, you should always mine the higher-yield variants before mining the base ore.
