Only reference is for mining, in pristine reserves you have a higher chance of finding the higher paying minerals like painite and metals like platinum and palladium, and cold ice diamonds in Ice rings. Of course, painite can only be located in Metallic rings in pristine reserves, don't think you can find it anywhere else. Galactive average for painite is around 40k a ton, for cold ice diamonds around 57k or so a ton, but are harder to find unless in pristine reserves.
Reserves are a system wide value for resources. For all we know it only affects the average % of resources from asteroids right now.
It's only about quantity, how much you'll find in %. Not quality, what you'll find.
Painite can be found in low reserves just like pristine. It'll just come with lower %.

Curious as to why it is on non-landable Water Worlds ...
You seem to miss the point.Mining is only possible on:Ringed bodies (in resource extraction sites of the rings themselves)"Asteroid Belts" It is also possible to obtain minerals from #landab;e# worlds according to their content, this is not conventinally mining, but involves simply shooting outcrops or the fallen meteorites on the surfaces of such worlds.___My question was with regards to the relevance of "Pristine Reserves" as pertaining specifically to non-landable planets in particular, Water WOrlds which offer no viable surface.Therefore, 'cashing out' as suggested or the availability of Painite is irrelevant, since neither are appropriate in this case.
Nothing right now but in the future....
You can mine underwater vents, if and when we get to visit those worlds.

You don't have to go to RES-sites. You will get more resources when you do though, but you will have less trouble with pirates when you don't.
I believe the caption of "Pristine Reserves" was added a few updates back, guess they implemented a blanket attachment and now it shows up in all systems outside the bubble, I see it all over while I'm out exploring. I've seen it in systems where there are no rings, asteroids or landable planets.
