Which minerals should I keep?

Keep rare ones like Dark Triton and Solstine for recipes.

Dark Triton is found in breaches off Greylock, where the higher-tier breaches unlock.
Every hull recipe calls for Solstine, and 13 of the 20 call for Dark Triton. A Normal Rune blueprint, for example, takes 12 Solstine and 32 Dark Triton.
The Forge takes materials from your hub stash, and moving them between hubs is manual, so store them where you craft.
Veskar and Pirite also repair damaged drones in cargo.
A dev believes salvage luck may help a mixed ore node upgrade to Dark Triton.
Recycle common drops for ORE instead.
