Hi, I’m quite new player. I’m Omega, I have Procurer ship. I want to try Ice-mining. But I cannot find any ice mining site! How to find it? I visited two system which should have such sites in Amarr space - Dantan, Kothe. I probe-scanned them using Core probe launcher I +Core scanner probe. Dantan had only Wormhole and CombatSite. Kothe had some “Metaliminal Meteroid: Amarr Mining”, Combat sites. But I see no ice mining sites as it is on Youtube videos. And I cannot enter that “Metaliminal Meteroid” because it doesn’t accept Procurer. ---

I used that already… Im able to find the system… BUT what should I do when I arrive into that system? I probe-scanned, I found no ice belts… ---

No need to probe, they are in the mining slot with other asteroid belts. But they don’t last long and take a few hours to respawn. ---

While you need the probe scanner window to see the anomalies in the system, you don’t need probes to really probe ice belts. Many anomalies are always 100% warpable and already green in the probe scanner window, ice belts included. This may have been the cause of the confusion: you don’t need probes to find an ice belt but you can find it in the probe scanner window. ---

Normally I’d charge at least a billion isk for my services. Click the Agency Tab, then click Resource Harvesting then Click Ice Belt. This one is a freebie. ---

Apologies I forgot that bit. It’s been a while since I mined any ice. ---

Just to be precise regarding the terminology: - `Cosmic Anomalies` are always 100% scanned (even if you just entered system) and can be warped to immediately. - `Cosmic Signatures` require to be scanned down (they are at 0% without it) and only after being completely scanned (to 100%) can be warped to. Both can be accessed through the probe scan window. ![2696597242_preview_serpentis-probe-window](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/8/3/3/83389135e5ed1885ad1754ae78340e959abfca01.png) Further reading: [Probe scanning - EVE University Wiki](https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Probe_scanning) ---
