your 100% untanked Retriever in Maurasi stood no chance. Retriever is for 0.7-1.0 systems, Procurer for others, no? What sence in Retriever if there are no hisec systems _in fact_? Odd ship in tree? Nope, all of the mining barges and exhumers can be used anywhere; they do however fall into 3 groups, each of which trades various stats like ore capacity, range, yield, cycle speed and tank against each other.
Procuror and Skiff, built like tanks, they have a smaller ore capacity than the others and some offensive capability. Retriever and Mackinaw, huge ore capacity, decent yield, while being squishy unless fitted not to be. Covetor and Hulk, tiny ore capacity, much higher yield and a better range than the others, best flown in groups.
If you want to mine unmolested by gankers then you need to get off the beaten track, some areas of hisec space, some surprisingly close to trade hubs, are virtually empty and the belts go untouched.
Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

Get a few of these going and you will have more ore than you can possibly mine. Can confirm that you'll have more ore than you know what to do with, some of which won't naturally occur in the faction space that you're in.
Taking this even further, if it's a gated deadspace with multiple gates you can use D-Scan (set to an appropriate distance for the first gate) to see anybody that tries to enter the area; because they have to use the gates to get to you.
