Conveyor Minerals Inc. is the corporation solely in charge of the Colonial Republic's mining operations. Created by the Ministry of Trade and Commerce following the successes of the Integral Systems Engineering transport corporation and the increasingly strenuous relationship with the IMG, the CMI is now the primary source of raw materials for the Colonial Republic. It employs thousands of Colonials working in the mining vessels, scouting out and mantaining new and potential resources and in its headquarters.

The metals and minerals extracted and collected by the CMI are the chief exports of the Colonial Republic, being transported and sold by the ISE throughout the systems of Sirius. The CMI works in association with the ISE, though is operated as a seperate entity with a seperate structure of command. It too is also owned chiefly by the Colonial people themselves, receiving the funding through the sales of the goods it extracts.

The chief vessel of the CMI is the Mining Ship. These large ships are fitted with specially modified mining lasers that are specially made to enable to ship to extract the maximum amount of mineral from each object mined. These Mining ships have aboard them the equipment and resources to process the minerals, cleaning them and making them worthy for use in either ship building at Singapore, or for sale throughout the systems of Sirius.

Although chiefly supplying the Colonial Republic with its resources, the CMI is considering applying for contracts with the Kusarian companies, Kishiro and Samura. These respective companies, whilst being very profitable and efficient, are lacking in the ability to harvest resources that are readily available in the Tau systems. This has given CMI the possibility of gaining exclusive contracts with Kishiro and Samura, as well as the prospect of gaining an exclusive right to all mining operations in the Kusari space of the Leeds system. With these things to come, it seems things are looking good for the CMI.

Currently operating under the Colonial law system and under guidance from the Ministry of Trade and Commerce, the CMI is led by Chairman Theo Halden.
