 Notes
27.1  Tofana  - L - 2A [6883.0 Ls, 7.7e+10 MT, 9.3e+09]
36.1  Algol  A4A [350.0 Ls, 7.4e+09 MT, 7.4e+08] Pret-ty. An uninhabited system within the bubble.
55.1  18 Camelopardalis  C1A [91455.0 Ls, 2.6e+11 MT, 2.6e+10] Es espectacular, well worth scanning. This system is in the bubble but uninhabited. It has a neutron star, a terraformable planet that has its own asteroid belt, and finally, a type 4 gas giant that has a pristine metallic ring. My system scan netted 240000 CR. There are many Metal Rich planets and all the moons around the PMR gas giant are metal rich
55.7  Hyades Sector DB-X d1-112  1A [2372.0 Ls, 1.6e+11 MT, 3.6e+10]
2A [2399.0 Ls, 3.5e+10 MT, 3.6e+09] 		An uninhabited system within the bubble. The two PMR planets are co-orbiting each other. One of the PMR planets is a water world
60.1  HIP 27528  5A [1759.0 Ls, 5e+11 MT, 5.1e+10] Within the bubble, but uninhabited. A large PMR.
61.8  HIP 8865  - H - 2A [4667.0 Ls, 4.4e+11 MT, 5e+10] There is a large station, Solvyev Orbital, on the co-orbiting gas giant of the PMR planet. It has a very good selection of mining equipment and a healthy market.
64.4  Lyncis Sector JR-W c1-12  5A [1550.0 Ls, 1.7e+11 MT, 1.9e+10]
69.3  HIP 25052  2A [1124.0 Ls, 2.1e+11 MT, 2.6e+10] About 30 Ly from Ix. Within the bubble but uninhabited.
70.3  Maidareldi  - L - 1A [233.0 Ls, 1.4e+12 MT, 1.6e+11] This is a big (single) ring, 133000 km of pristine metallic bling, the biggest in the bubble I think, although the standard system image provided makes it look small. It is also a single ring close that is close to the arrival star, ideal for beginners.
70.6  HIP 13644  - M - 1A [833.0 Ls, 4.7e+11 MT, 4.7e+10] An industrial system near to Hi-Tech system of Diaguandri but get your mining gear at the latter at Ray Gateway (15% price reduction on all gear) which has a pretty good mining gear stockage.
72.1  HIP 14922  - M - 3A [1981.0 Ls, 1.3e+11 MT, 1.8e+10]
73.1  Iota Cassiopeiae  C3A [163378.0 Ls, 3.9e+10 MT, 3.9e+09] 149000 Ls out so a bit of a trek.

80.3  HIP 22224  - M - ABC3A [1731.0 Ls, 9.4e+10 MT, 1e+10]
81.6  Wolf 202  - L - 10A [2988.0 Ls, 4.3e+11 MT, 4.4e+10] An inhabited system within the bubble. The only dockable station is a planetary one, 'Kozin Market', on planet 1, that has no outfitting possibities. System is controlled by a mafia group.
82.5  Tiraon  - M - 2B [1378.0 Ls, 1.3e+12 MT, 2.1e+11] The metallic ring is the outer one, the first time I have ever seen that. I almost missed it! For this reason it is a biggy (outer rings are often by far the biggest portion of the overall ring)

8A [1599.0 Ls, 1.6e+10 MT, 1.6e+09] 		The stations are very near the entry star and both Schiltberger Dock and Meaney Dock (no large landing pads) have good mining outfitting facilities. The 2 ringed PMR planets co-orbit each other.

Notes:
  • Some of the rings have images associated with them, click on the ring name and the image will open in another tab. If the system is in Inara then the name will automatically link you through to the system details there (when available) where you can find details on stations, prices, outfitting options, best places to sell, etc. .
  • The trouble with most trading sites/ data sources is that the data is often out of date within a few days. The best way to find a place to sell is to open the galaxy map and filter the map for Industrial and Hi-Tech systems and then look for those in an economic state of Boom, this can also be filtered in the galaxy map.The best stations to sell in are usually Hi-Tech stations followed by Industrial ones. However on the edge of the bubble trading data is usually non-existant or completely out of date so chances are you are on your own out there. ED updates trade prices frequently, and wars, boom and bust will all have an effect on the prices as well.
  • For a guide to mining check out the 'Mining' section in the links page: Elite dangerous links

I have found many mining systems some not known in any other sources, I am most proud of LFT 65 as it is near the centre of the bubble (the closest to Sol that I know of). I found it whilst doing detailed surface scans on all the White Dwarves within the bubble (they are very common within the bubble). I will make a list and an explanation as to why they are a good source of income some other time. My favourite pristine metallic ring is in the Alkupai system where the ring is around a Tauri T star so it is always lit up

Acknowledgement goes to Gorrister and his Call of the Wild mining thread on the Frontier Forums. He has spent a lot of time collecting and checking systems. Much of the work is due to the fastidious efforts of this and other long gone sources, I am just the techie putting it together.
