 Notes
38.4  LFT 65  4A [1761.0 Ls, 3.7e+11 MT, 3.8e+10] Uninhabited. A white dwarf system so watch out when entering the system.
62.5  HR 8514  - L - 5A [2533.0 Ls, 7.5e+09 MT, 8.2e+08] Beware an Anarchy system controlled by a pirate faction. There is a large Ocellus Starport, Hennen Station and an outpost, Coleman Hub, near to the target ring. Hennen Station has a great stock of mining equipment.
70.7  Frey  - H - 4A [2693.0 Ls, 7.5e+11 MT, 7.5e+10] Garratt Station, a large industrial station, is near to the ring and has a very good selection of mining equipment and a healthy market. The PMR is extremely large
71.3  Bhotho  - M - AB3A [1050.0 Ls, 2.4e+10 MT, 2.5e+09]

4A [2959.0 Ls, 2.3e+11 MT, 2.3e+10] 		An uninhabited system within the bubble. One of the gas giants has a water world orbiting it.
92.1  LHS 2661  6A [2156.0 Ls, 3.3e+11 MT, 3.4e+10] Uninhabited. A white dwarf system so watch out when entering the system.

99.2  G Scorpii  - H - B4A [24058.0 Ls, 0e+00 MT, NaN] A bit of a trek (circa 24000 Ls out) but this is compensated for by a large industrial station, Roberts Ring that orbits the PMR planet. This station has an excellent selection of mining equipment.
99.6  HIP 93377  - M - 4A [1999.0 Ls, 4.8e+09 MT, 5.4e+08] Kooi Gateway, a large Industrial/Extraction station, is very close to the PMR and has a reasonable selection of mining equipment and a healthy market. There is also an outpost near to the ring but it has no Commodities Market or Outfitting. The High-Tech system of Jonai is nearby.
101.8  Tehuevi  - M - 2A [1125.0 Ls, 3e+11 MT, 3.1e+10]

108.4  Njikan  - M - 4A [2055.0 Ls, 2.5e+11 MT, 2.5e+10] The only station (a large one at that) is Smeaton Port on planet 3A although it does have a top-notch selection of mining gear and a healthy market.
110.0  HIP 104504  - L - 12A [1909.0 Ls, 1.7e+10 MT, 1.9e+09] Baillaud Ring has a reasonably good selection of mining equipment and is not far from the entry star. It is an industrial station with good prices for metals.
110.9  Delkar  - M - 7A [2802.0 Ls, 3.8e+11 MT, 4.5e+10] Only the planetary station stocks Collector Limpet Controllers and no A rated ones at that so you'll have to kit up elsewhere. I have mined this ring several times and alway found it to be a bit dark. However, with the new night vision this should not be a problem.

2B [2763.0 Ls, 6.4e+12 MT, 6.9e+11] 		An uninhabited system within the bubble. Great for peaceful mining. A double ring of bling! The only double ring I have ever seen. A good one for beginners worrying about where to mine as both rings are viable.

139.6  HIP 105192  - L - A3A [1678.0 Ls, 6.3e+10 MT, 9.1e+09] A Hi-Tech system that has only planetary stations (Horizons). Tjakiri, another Hi-Tech system with non-planetary stations is nearby. The second star, around 9000 Ls out has 3 terraformable candidates and 2 water worlds so this system is defintely worth a detailed surface scan.

One station, 'Vries Holdings', is a refinery, the other, 'Shaara Arsenal' is a military station. Both of these stations have all facilities, including a commodities market and outfitting. Only the second time I have seen this, but the planet with the PMR is a Water World.

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.
