Unusual Core Deposit
Found in: C5C6 C Single-source / unverified Class band stated by the EVE University wiki only - no second source carries per-class spawn data for this site type. The wiki notes core deposits occasionally spawn in low-class wormholes, though rarely, and may spawn in shattered systems.
Wormhole mining site, warpable without scanning. Sleeper defenders arrive on a timer after warp-in, so it is the same huff-or-mine-until-the-rats-land pattern as gas. Classes it spawns in are listed above.

Payout A ESI-derived / official
- Ore value
- 1,236,566,300 ISK (1.2B)
- Blue loot (defenders)
- 5,800,000 ISK (5.8M)
Two separate payouts. The ore in the site is the reason to come: ~1,237M ISK at the sheet's live prices. Killing the Sleeper defenders drops a further ~5.8M ISK in blue loot. Recheck prices before planning income, they move; the manifest quantities are the stable part.
