Mining is a process that involves the excavation of terrestrial planetoids, or asteroids. Specific colonized worlds (Such as Earth and Reach) cannot be mined, however. Although costly, deploying a mobile mining facility and employing miners to perform for extended periods of time does usually pay-off, as certain locations are rich in specific types of resources. Resources can than be sold for money, according to their value. Some resources may only be salvaged by vessels of either UNSC or Covenant origin.

Comets are also available for mining. They are generally rare, and when found, are difficult to track. Even so, such action is rewarded by a large supply of Dirty ice, an abundant, yet expensive item amongst astronomical scientist and researchers.

A thorough list of resources can be found below.
