Thanks for the quick reply,Thanks! I am glad you are enjoying the game. It's not easy to learn but it's a lot of fun when you get into it. Mineral deposits will only appear on a minority of bodies and those deposits will usually include only a few of the eleven mineral types. Check out the brief description of the Mining tab from the F2 window as that provides some information on mineral accessibilities: viewtopic.php?f=101&t=1959
Possibly the situation I have encountered is a lack of minerals in the bodies I expected minerals to be in. For instance I surveyed Jupiter and its moons and only Metis and Sinope show as having minerals. I assumed that I was doing something wrong. For what its worth Steve Aurora has made me quite giddy. Rarely do I find an opportunity to feel the raw youthful exhuberance of learning something interesting that is unexpected and new. Thankyou.
Best regards,
Lafe
