So what types of asteroids are there in EVE Online for mining? Well what you find is dependant on a couple of factors, firstly it depends on the security rating of the system your in. The 0.0 types of asteroid is determined by region, so if you don’t see a specific type of ore then chances are your region may not support it.

Ok, in order of rarity, type and value the asteroid types are:

Intermediate Type of Asteroid
Advanced Type of Asteroid

As you can see the ore types are in an Alphabetic list based on the basic type of ore with the most valuable types closer to A then Z.

A breakdown of the mineral and ice product types by asteroid will be made available in later posts.
