You mentioned the Hallam Nebula, that is the one behind Eire, right? You want to mine helium there? DSE does not have a bonus for that, generic Miner ID does. And as you use Freelancer ID with the KTA tag, you can use the generic Miner ID as well without breaking the rules.
DSE can mine platinum, copper, silver, and scrap (as far as I know they cannot mine premium scrap, but not sure).

As basic: All unlawfulls can consider you as a prey.
However, there could be much more complicated situations. Miner ID, means you are independent miner, which works for himself, and probably, not sharing his income, or not creating any output to large factions. It could appears, that in certain mining fields, you could be asked to move along. Thouse mining fields could be considered, as their property inRP, and you could be even considered as a theif, in case you mine there, without having a talk with local authorities.
I kind of answered this question to you already in game, but let me give all people in this thread my point of view why mining fields in Alberta are invalid.
Everywhere in the lore it says that all abundant mining resources are found mostly in nebulas (Kusari and its gases, Rheinland and their minerals etc), the only notable exception being Dublin's gold. Everything else (such as Penny's helium) is just not as efficient to mine. That's why after the settlement of Liberty all of its resources were found on planets, and these just ended at some point, and Liberty had to restructurize its industry into processing/light rather than raw/heavy. This is why Liberty has more technology/economy based corporations than any other house.
You could technically say that Junkers are Liberty's "mining corporation" (because of the fields of scrap being Liberty's mining fields), and in some way indeed they are, but Liberty doesn't have a proper mining corporation, because it just wouldn't make sense.
Yeah, so the topic is closed, yet... aside of wrong placing of systems in game - there is some place between Liberty and Omegas, so probably there would be systems that would caught an eye.
You know, no one suspected there's something more beyond Taus. Maybe there's another empire below Omegas as well!
Yep, which partially gave birth to the out-of-work Xenos Terrorists who are both former miners who lost work due to the exhaustion of Liberty's raw space resources and (they claim) outside laborers who work cheaper. >_>
