Newcomer / Intro What's maximum output from an asteroid nowadays?

Finally I got my Cutter fully engineered and want to do some wing missions for Bromellite.
Since triple hotspots were terminated in ED, I'm mining in double hotspot.
Most asteroids have 20-25% of Brom which give 5-6t. Asteroids above 30% are pretty rare, I saw maximum about 38% which can give maybe ~10t.
Somebody on this forum mentioned 20t of Brom from single asteroid (shown on video). As I remember it was in HighRes/HazRes site.
Do HighRes/HazRes sites have bigger output from asteroids comparing to, let say, double hotspots or such places were nerfed and don't exist enymore?

They do have higher yield, although the hassle with constant pirate attacks isn't really worth it.

Anything above 20% is a good yield in my opinion.

There is a certain bromellite triple hotspot that still works nice.
Most probably because the double overlap is a very tight one too and the third one is also well placed.

Max percentage in Icy rings for any rocks is just over 36%, your highest yielding rocks are going to be either a good Core, one with bromellite on laser, SD, SSD and the core or a good SSD, one with 4 SSD's and laser, but to be honest they are so rare they are not worth looking for.

The fastest way is mixed Lasering and SD/SSD mining, Mixed Double hotspots, ie, Brom/LTD can give on the Brom side better results than a single hotspot.

Yesterday I re-moduled my mining Cutter into this https://s.orbis.zone/eqli to mine Painite/Platinum in painite hotspot overlapped with HighRes.
It was really not bad, I got up to 18t of metals from an asteroid.
Another problem is to sell since the stations with the best prices don't have large pads. So I've built this cargo Python https://s.orbis.zone/eqlx with 256t cargo to swap.
