## Overview

Struve's belt is productive but awkward — the system is off the main transit corridors, which keeps extraction costs high and competition low. Rush Mining has operated here for four generations, making a virtue of the location: without corridor competitors, they've developed deep extraction expertise across the belt's varied ore profile.

The company mines a wider commodity range than most single-system operations: metallic ore from the main belt deposits, rare mineral concentrates from the inner system's geologically active secondary bodies, and lattice-grade material from a fractured lunar body that proved unexpectedly rich. Each stream is sold independently into the corridor spot market when the gate schedule permits transit.

**Primary operations:** Belt extraction (metallic ore, rare minerals), surface and sub-surface mining of lattice-grade material on Struve's secondary moon.

**Market position:** Frontier supplier with niche advantage on lattice-grade material quality — Rare Vein Survey (the primary reach-wide supplier) doesn't consistently reach Struve volumes. Rush Mining fills the gap for east and outer corridor buyers.
