Elite Dangerous Mining Locations
The below information is a combination of personal discovery, collected from other resources and websites, but at this point mainly equals CMDRs submitting different locations. Also, not all locations are necessarily Pristine Rings, so be sure to check that. Also, I've introduced the idea of Material Overlapping Hotspot. This is where two or more high paying DIFFERENT materials overlap. Even though they aren't the same, they are still typically bringing high prices. In the case the information is from another source, I try very hard to give proper credit to the CMDR and/or website. This gives them proper credit and promotes your journey of discovery.

The ring is absolutely loaded with material spots looking a little bit like cheese with a Double Tritium hotspot and with in 30 LY of Colonia making it perfect for a free fill up with a mining ship for your or others fleet carriers.

Quiet, close to jump arrival point. Chill mining experience. There is one Haz rez available if that is your thing.

Overlapping bromellite, great view of a nebula and a dense star pattern from rim area.

Multiple high demand and high sell price materials, no overlaps but there’s little traffic.
Valhaling
NB! There are no overlapping hotspots in Valhaling 2. Fleet carriers belonging to the local minor faction are often stationed in the system. They buy the painite at just above galactic average so it’s a quick trip from the hotspot to the carriers. The minor faction ruling the system is Galactic Vikings, their carriers have…

It’s in the middle of nowhere, there’s little traffic, and close to starting systems for new players. Rhoduplumsite is on the outer ring, Platinum, Painite, and Serendibite are on the inner ring with an overlap between Platinum and Serendibite.

Lots of Hotspots for different mining possibilities, with lots of Fleet Carriers that resotck limpets. Not far from good selling spots as well. P.S. The double overlap is benitonite.

Its the second spot in the Eol Prou OH-K C9-254 System that I have found, only ~300 Ls further out. When paired with the Belt around Planet 3 you can find nearly all rare resources in the system, with the exception of Tritium, although I haven’t finished scanning yet so that might change.

Right on the doorstep to Colonia, with lots of resources to mine and even two Overlaps as far as I could see. Not too far from the jump in point and quite quiet.

There are two overlapping spots rather close to the jump in point of the system. For any miner located around Colonia this is quite a good system to have since its round about 4 jumps from Colonia, depending on ship.

Many spots to choose from. Pristine reserves. The screenshots show a few and there a total of 33 hot spots. There seems to be double overlapping Monazite, and Serendibite hotspots at least.
