I'm about to move out to 0.0 in about a weeks time with a Hulk, and the safest spot to mine is a dead end, but the minerals aren't the greatest (not true 0.0).
Best choice I have is between hedbergite and hemorphite, but if I look at EveGeek ore info, I can't decide which one??
Any advice anyone can offer me? |

Try out my Ore calculator. You can update the prices from EVE which then will show you what ore is best to mine with todays mineral prices.
At the moment its hedbergite which is best to mine.

Being in a hulk and not mining the rarer high end is a bit of a shame since the difference between hedbergite and bistot for isntance is quite high. Even losing a hulk or two (quite cheap nowaday)you would probably still make more isks.

(OMG I'm about to dissagree with a CRC member...)
I personally don't agree with that Pril, As although the difference between the two is much higher isk wise, (I'd quote the numbers if I had my calc handy) The ability to mine peacfully is a very usefull commodity.
The OP can go into more dangerous space, but it may not be worth the risk to him to do so. The same result is seen in empire space with Veld. Although its the 2nd cheapest ore in the game (refined/per jetcan (pyro is the worst) due to its quantity, and your ability to mine large quantities of it un-innterupted, It increases in value.
In other words, a Hulk averaging a 15 min jetcan can mine 4 Jetcans of Veldspar in highsec without moving belts easily.
That same hulk 9/10 times can't mine any other ore in highsec and get the same results due to other people mining those ores out. (You may get a full cycle on one roid, as opposed to 5-6 on a veld roid). As such, You are usually reduced to 2-3 jetcans per hour, simply from changing roids and moving to different parts of the belt.
(and yall laugh when Chribba mines Veldspar... :) )
The same proves true for the OP. Although he may not get the same value per jetcan, If he has found a safe place to mine the ores, Then he is likely able to make more money off of the cheaper ore than he can with the more valuable ones.
----
As for the difference between the two, Its just about a mute point now that the price of Nox has crashed. IIRC Hemo is a Nox heavy ore, and Hedg is a Iso heavy ore. Also, Hedg has more Zydrine in it. That usually makes it the more valuable of the two.

Your forgetting the logistics behind it 0.0 isn't simply pop out to a belt and mine these days, most rare ore systems are inhabited anyway. Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content. Mail [email protected] if you have questions. -Hango

It's a real pain solo. If you can do corp ops then you're golden but otherwise in 0.0 with rare ores there's rarely a refinery in the same system as the ore. Or if there is it's a POS refinery which most likely you won't have the rank to use yourself. Unless you happen to inhabit a system with rare ore and an outpost with a refinery I'd say mine with your hulk in high sec. Scord/plag/veld.
