Newcomer / Intro What are mined minerals/metals you keep in your FC?

I got my FC a week ago and now mining various minerals/metals instead of only one kind as before.
And I'm wondering what you, Cmdrs, keep in your FC? Is it everything you can mine or just those minerals/metals which cannot be bought at stations?
 
If you're going to use a fleet carrier to improve your mining earnings rate, platinum and osmium are the only things you should laser mine. I think that's probably more efficient than core mining unless you're using maps.
 
Yes, right now I'm mining in pristine metallic ring and targeting platinum, osmium and painite as major minerals.
I take praseodymium and samarium as well since you cannot buy them and sometimes I can take mining missions for them to improve rep. or for G5 materials.
I keep silver and gold as well since the buy prices for them are pretty high. Don't know if there's any mining mission for them.
I trade osmium only for non-wing mining missions with allied factions for ~340k/ton.
 
Loads of odds and ends, some has been sitting there for months, have a look, carrier links in sig, cargo is visible:)

It all depends on where I am as to what I bother to mine, at the moment I am in the Formorian Frontier so mainly only core type and Tritium but when I am back near the bubble or Colonia I will increase the range to most of the medium priced and those in demand on the mission boards.

3 main ways to sell and to work out what to mine, keep an eye on INARA commodities prices it will give you a good guide as to what the stations are paying, on certain things you will also see what some other carriers are willing to pay, Bromellite is one of the interesting ones, you can get a lot better price at some carriers than at stations, the third option is the mission boards, this is where some of the previously mentioned carriers are selling to, if you can find the right stations and build up your rep to get top price or just sell to the carriers choice is yours.
 
Platinum and tritium. Former for the cash I don't need and the latter for travel which I do.

Technically, I don't need credits but the corporate greed monkey in me doesn't feel comfortable unless my balance keeps increasing. The funds must flow.

I think I also have some occupied escape pods and LTDs which I'll get round to flogging at some point.
