Once you've purchased a Mining Operation license, you can begin obtaining mining droids, mining, and will get access to the Mining Resource Exchange where you can try your hand at making profits.

As you earn more and more, you may be tempted to upgrade your Mining Operation level. This will grant you access to more expensive Mining Droids, the ability to mine more expensive minerals, and more equipment storage space.

Mining Droids

Mining Droids are organized into classes. The higher the class letter, the more valuable the minerals it can mine. However, this also means they are more expensive to purchase and maintain.
These things operate on battery power and electricity, no smug and nasty pollutants. This does mean you'll need to charge them for a small fee once their power is depleted.
Lastly, if you've outgrown your need and wish to recoup some credits, you can sell them on the Mining Droid Equipment Exchange. It's here where other citizens can buy and sell their mining equipment in an open-market style exchange.
