 Notes
29.3  HIP 75446  - M - 1A [1276.0 Ls, 3.9e+10 MT, 1.2e+10] Only one planet, with a single orbiting station (Crowley station, but it is a mining station and sells just everything equipment-wise required for mining: all collector and prospector limpet controllers, mining lasers and refineries (excepy the 3A). There is also a couple of mining planetary stations (one of which does sell the 3A refinery)
43.5  60 Herculis  - M - 3A [519.0 Ls, 1.2e+10 MT, 1.2e+09]
6A [946.0 Ls, 9.6e+10 MT, 9.6e+09] 		Lots of ringed planets, and many RESs of all shapes and sizes if you fancy some bounty hunting. Ringed planets 3 and 4 have a beautiful vistas as they are a co-orbital pair and you can see the other in the background.

There are 2 stations orbiting planet 2 (first moon) and together they have a good selection of mining equipment, the coriolis station (Thurston Dock) has a lot of choice for limpet controllers but does not seem to have a class 2 mining laser but the planetary station does.

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  • The trouble with most trading sites/ data sources is that the data is often out of date within a few days.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 However on the edge of the bubble trading data is usually non-existant or completely out of date so chances are you are on your own out there.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.
