First off, you've created a mining world within a system with a middling Resource Value. This might be a problem.
Secondly, I'm concerned about a corporation 'owning' a planet and being subject to the tithe... the tithe in the 40k universe is integral to the concept of the Imperial Commander and the 'feudal' nature of things. As with the... damn, forgotten... system in the Eisenhorn trilogy (the one beginning with a 'C') I would imagine that 'commercial' interests would be done through permit from the adeptus administratum...

I explained that, the other two mega rich worlds they are mining means they could affort to strip mine this one. And middling does not mean worthless There is not alot to import to this world only food and maybe the ocaisional bit of equipment other than that they are mostly self sefficiant
So I should say they have a permit/received a permit or bought a permit to mine the world.
So what your saying is there should be no tithe? Or that an imperial commander needs to be present so that their can be a tithe. You did read the part about it nominally belonging to the Mechanicus so they wouldn't have to pay tithes didn't you. Is that wrong would that not happen
Which book though

Reference to Xenos.
The Cinchare system, a corporation mined a large asteroid/planetoid with AdMech assistance. Lots of things went wrong including Chaos articfact, strange gravitational phenomena and other crazy stuff!

Ah right, well that would be the problem of the mechanicus not the company who have absolutly nothing to do with the dig/research base

It seems strange that a "commercial interest" permits a tempered loss in one area merely because they maintain a gain in another. There would have to be some other competitive advantage to the world...

Very well then this is now where the corporations factory ship and its deep core mining ship are now located, both of which increase the output of finished materials and reduce the mining costs. The mining colony only needs food to be imported this need only happen every 5 years or so as they have good storage capacity on proculus and a rather small population. 5 years being the standard lenth of a mining contract in the UTC, so as the new people are brought in so everything they will need for their stay. Besides with the mechanicus presence they don't pay tithes, a gift from the mechanicus for being so forward with the arcaeotech discovery.

Yes, just thought I should give you a heads up about the other two mining worlds I have been developing for Meksum, they would be these two 55,47,55 - M-V - C7A3310-8 Fl Lo 801 Im 0B0-Koralla and 58,48,50 - M-V - B9C4223-7 Fl Lo 613 Im 0D0-Laguna The both have ATC involvement, but i'm also looking to have involvement from Meksum itself and unlike Proculus the Imperium is in full stranglehold mode...to a degree. Koralla is a basic mining world, the company owns the mining colony on the main world and its moons, but much of the profits are shared with the governor of Meksum, with the other worlds in the system being under imperial rule. Laguna is a triune system, its two large moons are as big and rich as main worlds, and each is autonymous to a degree, you have the main world itself being company controlled, one moon is under the rule of the imperial administration and the other moon is an agri world supporting the system. They are at the moment only partially done, but they will be the next two worlds I will be doing when I finish my other three

Personally, I'd say that mining worlds are quite rare, since it is much cheaper to expand mining colonies till the planet becomes a factory world, so instead of mining minerals on one world and building refrigerators on another, you do both on the mineral rich world. Thus... it might be appropriate to develope those two into civilised worlds or factory worlds instead of mining worlds, Dazo Unless, maybe, there is no way those worlds can support life, or there is already a civilised world or factory worlds in extreme proximity.

Yes I agree, these are not another proculus clone, as you say, owing to the massive resource values these colonies would be more like to develop into fully fledged imperial worlds. And you think a factory world would be the way to go, I like that idea actually, is a factory world the same as an indusrial world.
Well the problem is the atmospheres, with nasty atmospheres you would want to have as small an area you had to protect as possible. And while it is possible to build these structures it would take longer than on say a terran like world, which is why they are still classed as mining worlds at the minute. But I do like that idea CELS.
Not without help. They would have to be supported(at least in the beginning) by other worlds in the system.
Nope nothing in the immediat vicinity, and both worlds are fairly far apart.
I should say bouth worlds have a heavy Cartel presence, they own the mine(though not what is mined)
