It goes without saying in EVE, skills matter, implants matter, better facilities matter.  
I have no mining implants at this time and my skills are ok (not maxed).

This is my results after a long mining op.

8137 Plagioclase (compressed).

68.3 yield NPC station

594,747 tritanium

1,183,935 pyerite

594,747 Mexallon

~55,800,000 ISK sell ore  
~50,700,000 ISK sell minerals

Player station (Athanor)

73.9% yield

643,040 tritanium

1,280,071 Pyerite

643,040 Mexallon

Sell ore ~55,800,000 ISK  
Sell minerals ~54,800,000 ISK

Refine cost; 991,958.10 ISK

The difference is 48,293 in Mexallon, at 70 ISK per unit is 3,380,510 ISK profit ONLY counting Mexallon, minus refining cost 991,958 = 2,388,552 more in profit.

Did you check the value of compressed ore.  
Also you might need to post the stats you used to calculate your refining yield.

Yes, the ore was compressed

As far as stats, do you mean my skills?
