What is jetcan mining?
Most experienced miners in Eve use a technique known as jetcan mining. This technique dramatically increases the amount of ore yield for a given period of time, resulting in more isk earned per hour. The goal of this process is simple: use a ship optimized for ore extraction when extracting ore, and a ship optimized for hauling when hauling. This process can be done solo, but also works well with a group: • Choose a ship with mining yield bonuses and support for mining laser upgrades and good miners. Don’t worry about cargohold size. Park the ship at a position within an asteroid belt where you can mine from multiple asteroids. Start mining. • As your cargohold fills up, jettison it into space. This will create a jettison canister capable of containing 27,500m3 of ore. Move additional ore into this canister. • Repeat this process for up to an hour, then dock your mining ship and return in a hauler to move the ore into a refining station.
