I wouldn't say mining one before the storyline is over is 'nearly impossible' as the article states. It just requires the right equipment (Gamma Shield II and probably Gunant's Drill), the right skill (get to the field quickly, skillfully keep the mining crosshair within the shrinking circle - the more time it's out of bounds the more time you're wasting), and a little luck (depending on how far away the nearest A-grade asteroid is when you enter the zone.

Then use the Khador drive to bail the moment you're done. If you fail, just reload your save and try again.
