Do you mean lodestones?? Just go to where some miners are mining, switch to map mode, and watch for them to pop out.

Another topic said you can turn on your scanner and shoot nodes off asteroids to make them pop out. Or, if you aren't in a hurry, just buy them from traders. They show up rarely, but they do show up.

ok thx will give the buy thing an try like i said my traders jut cheat the ora there not even near roids to drop those stones..... and npc miner.... first have to find places they realy mine i only see them flying around on highways

It does take some time for them to drop. You might try waiting to enter the sector until your miners have docked and are offloading. For me, they did not drop when I entered and hung around in the middle of a mining run, but when they went to offload and then came back, I'm pretty sure they dropped almost immediately.

It's anecdotal, but based on how wonky high attention NPC mining is, it might be valid.
