Mining is an essential activity in Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) to produce raw materials which you can refine and use to upgrade your starbase and ships.
Boost mining productivity by assigning the correct officers to your ship and gain bonus mining speed and defence against other players.
Here are some of the best systems to mine specific raw materials.
Latinum Mining Locations
Raw Latinum nodes have been added to 25 systems in the galaxy. The base rate on these nodes improves dramatically in higher-level systems. Additionally, they have a 1 in 8 chance of spawning "rich" raw latinum, which mines at double the base rate! Suliban is a special system and has only rich nodes of various qualities.
Raw latinum can be refined from level 16 in the refinery on a 22hr cooldown. The refining process converts raw latinum into latinum at a guaranteed rate. The conversion process produces ship parts for the Ferengi D'Vor as a byproduct.

Dilithium Mining Locations
Dilithium can be found in level 9 systems and above. Try exploring in level 9 or higher systems to find dilithium. If you find a location not on this list, let us know in the comments below.
An easier way to obtain dilithium which is quicker and less likely to end in your ship being attacked is to farm hostiles. Certain factions drop up to 100 dilithium crystals with bonus amounts in PVE chests. Check the link to find which systems are best to farm dilithium.

Systems with 2-Star Raw Gas
Raw Gas can be found in 3 Grades 2, 3 and 4 stars - and refines into Common, Uncommon in the 2, 3 Grade and an additional Rare quality for the 3 and 4 Star.
Also, it can be sourced throughout the Neutral Zone and the Faction Zones, with the latter, also providing it in large planet-sized quantities with nothing to differentiate it therefore merely clicking on a planet will reveal it's a resource within.

Amador in the neutral zone has G3 Crystals
No, only 2 star
There is no dilithium in Noakyn
Where are the grade 4 locations?
There are no 4* yet, they are coming in later update
Aruna system in Fed Space, level 21, sys num 37068128, has 3* gas now after the node additions
Sorenle is level 21, not 12 -- and has both 2-star gas and ore
Thanks. This is very useful and a huge time saver
Nelve is only 2-star raw crystal - no dilithium.
Azha (S:849541812) Is 2* Raw Crystal
What about the 3 star ore locations
No 3-star Ore locations, apart from one in the 2star list.
