The Ten Ton Hammer Ore Mining Chart

Updated Mon, Jun 02, 2008 by TheGeneral

What follows is an in-depth look at the different types of ore in EVE Online, the security status of the zone in which you're most likely to find a desirable quantity of the ore, and the maximum mineral makeup (with refining and refinery capacity at max. skill level) of the ore in question. While each type of ore may appear in zones with a security status less than the max in the ore's corresponding range, they're no guarantees. Generally, asteroids grow in quantity and quality as you get deeper and deeper into low security space.

Thanks to Karl Bohrman and the other folks in this thread for help in figuring the security info, and Lachenlaud (with his amazingly huge spreadsheet!) at goi-eve.com for the means to take a stab at the percentages.
