 Notes
54.7  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.
71.0  Polahukuna  - M - A1A [1342.0 Ls, 1.9e+11 MT, 2e+10] Nearby Hardy Dock has an excellent stock of mining equipmeny, only the 5A and 7A limpet controllers are not present (but the B rated ones and below are).
73.7  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.
78.0  Ras Elased Borealis  8A [1613.0 Ls, 3.2e+10 MT, 3.3e+09]
9A [1589.0 Ls, 5.6e+09 MT, 6e+08]
78.2  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
79.4  38 Lyncis  - M - 4A [3770.0 Ls, 5e+10 MT, 5.9e+09] There is a large Orbis Starport, MacLeod Market orbiting the small planet that co-orbits the PMR planet. It is an agricultural station with no mining equipment at all.
83.8  HIP 43296  - H - 5A [772.0 Ls, 1.7e+11 MT, 1.7e+10] Huge population. 2 large stations on the red dwarf hosting the ring
86.3  Tofana  - L - 2A [6883.0 Ls, 7.7e+10 MT, 9.3e+09]
87.4  Bd-08 2963  - L - 2A [4156.0 Ls, 5.8e+11 MT, 5.8e+10] There are 3 stations nearby, 2 outposts and a planetary one. They are all extraction stations, so no good for selling. The planetary station has a good stock of mining lasers and prospector controllers but only size 1 and 2 refineries and no collector limpet controllers. The PMR is 4147 Ls from the entry star.
87.9  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.
88.9  LHS 5180  - L - 1A [2167.0 Ls, 3.2e+11 MT, 4.4e+10]
91.2  Algol  A4A [350.0 Ls, 7.4e+09 MT, 7.4e+08] Pret-ty. An uninhabited system within the bubble.
91.4  Col 285 Sector OS-T d3-148  3A [4930.0 Ls, 3e+11 MT, 4e+10] An uninhabited system within the bubble. Great for peaceful mining. Close to Deciat, 19 Ly.
94.0  HIP 49846  - M - 3A [0.0 Ls, 0e+00 MT, NaN]
94.3  HIP 39418  - M - 1A [172.0 Ls, 1.8e+10 MT, 1.5e+09]
2A [310.0 Ls, 5.2e+09 MT, 5.2e+08]
95.2  Hajong  - M - 2A [1878.0 Ls, 1.8e+11 MT, 1.8e+10] Orbiting the PMR is a large industrial station that buys all PMR commodities Crampton Dock. It seems to stock all mining equipment as well.
95.6  HIP 45879  5A [1976.0 Ls, 1.9e+11 MT, 2.3e+10]
98.8  Gurus  - H - CD4A [106230.0 Ls, 3.1e+12 MT, 3.4e+11] A single ring ideal for beginners and a big one at that. A large Hi Tech station Dantec Hub orbits the PMR, it offers good prices for all PMR commodities. The ring and station are 106000 Ls out from the entry star though so it is a bit of a trek.
99.6  HIP 27528  5A [1759.0 Ls, 5e+11 MT, 5.1e+10] Within the bubble, but uninhabited. A large PMR.
99.9  HIP 44890  - M - 10A [2112.0 Ls, 1.2e+10 MT, 1.4e+09]

104.2  HIP 28122  - H - ABC1A [2052.0 Ls, 4e+11 MT, 4.8e+10] There is a planetary colony with services nearby. Pirate faction seems to have a strong powerbase here (circa 10% influence)

114.8  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
115.5  Nuitu  - M - 5A [204.5 Ls, 1.2e+10 MT, 9e+08] Lots of ringed planets here.
115.5  HIP 52780  - H - 3A [0.0 Ls, 0e+00 MT, NaN]

118.0  HIP 43358  - L - 1A [3267.0 Ls, 7.1e+10 MT, 7.1e+09] Within the bubble.There be pirates here, oo-aaarrh. A single outpost, 'Watts Terminal', (no large landing pads) orbits the PMR planet and it has few facillities.

120.9  HIP 53049  7A [0.0 Ls, 0e+00 MT, NaN] About 120Ly outside the bubble and at the very top. Nearest supply station is Isherwood Dock at 80 Leonis which has an excellent stock of mining equipment (not listed in EDDB)
121.2  Ochosag  - M - 1A [2164.0 Ls, 1.7e+11 MT, 1.7e+10]

122.6  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.
123.1  Hyades Sector EB-X d1-104  - L - 6A [1590.0 Ls, 4.1e+11 MT, 5.7e+10]
123.7  HIP 36509  - L - 1A [273.3 Ls, 6.4e+10 MT, 7e+09]
5A [1000.2 Ls, 1.4e+11 MT, 2.4e+10] 		An inhabited system containing 2 planetary statons, a military one and a colony. EDDB has little info on either.
124.2  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.

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.
127.3  Wargis  - M - 13A [683.0 Ls, 2.6e+11 MT, 4e+10] An Industrial system well within the bubble.
127.8  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.

128.5  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.
128.7  Chertan  - H - 2A [1149.0 Ls, 4.6e+09 MT, 4.6e+08] Industrial station Elgin Hub orbits the PMR planet and has just about everything mining equipment wise.

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.
