 Notes
15.4  HIP 89100  - M - 2A [972.0 Ls, 3.5e+11 MT, 3.5e+10] Pirate infested, near the edge of the bubble. The single large planetary station is a military station with limited mining outfitting.

The galactic map shows it as having a terraforming economy but there are no terraformable planets. The only station 'Thuot Port' is an industrial planetary station and has no outfitting factilities but does have restock and repair facilities (and commodities).

36.4  Volciates  - H - A12A [1492.0 Ls, 2.8e+11 MT, 3.1e+10] Bobko Orbital is a station here that provides a reasonable selection of mining equipment
44.0  HIP 93326  2A [113.0 Ls, 7.7e+09 MT, 1e+09] An uninhabited system at the edge of the bubble, around 15 Ly away from the nearest inhabited system
46.8  Mawuru  - L - 2A [2718.0 Ls, 1.2e+10 MT, 1.3e+09] On the edge of the bubble, there are no outfitting services in this system so you'll have to kit out your ship before you arrive.
47.1  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.

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  • The trouble with most trading sites/ data sources is that the data is often out of date within a few days.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 However on the edge of the bubble trading data is usually non-existant or completely out of date so chances are you are on your own out there.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