For this reason, I prefere Autmated Mines. Yes, it takes time to set up a large mining colony - as it should be. Those are some massive structures, you are moving around.
I routinely have at least 2 fleets of 10 freighters each on standby for that kind of jobs.
You can also use the comercial contract system to let the civies move your automines (provided they have to go to a planetary body inside your home system or to a system no further than 4 jumps out, which is connected by jump gates.
