Hi, the Explorer scout is not specifically a mining ship but I thought you might like to have a look at this one. The Explorer scout could be pressed into service as a prospector.
Explorer Class Scout
The PS 32 Explorer Scout is a utilitarian starship encountered within and around the Third Imperium. The Explorer Scout is capable of jump-5 and 4G acceleration. The Explorer Scout is stealthy and expensive compared with similar sized ships such as the more common Gazelle-Class Close Escort, Type T Patrol Cruiser and the Dragon class SDB.

Notes
The Explorer Scout is an advanced design using thruster plates instead of the more usual HEPlaR maneuver drives. A crew of 14 is recommended but the ship can be operated under normal conditions with a skeleton crew of two to three individuals with the appropriate skills. Fuel Scoops are integral. Fuel purification machinery (1 MW), refines 1550 m3 in 46.5 hours. The Explorer Scout has a 0.5415 MW shortfall. The power plant has sufficient fuel for a jump of 5 parsecs and 5 years duration. The ship is capable of jump 5 plus emergency jump 1 and 8 months duration. The Explorer Scout is capable of maximum acceleration of 4.5 G.

Designer's Notes:
Yes, that does say 5.25 years duration.
I use power to weight ratio for maneuver thrust instead of the formula in FF&S.
I use a higher level of automation than in TNE. Engineering x0.8
Thanks
