ok since CCP decided to actually make the agents give a specific type of mission per each department, I took myself the task to see how they are in fact.
now I've been doing these missions for a few days already, and atm only lvl1 and lvl2, so lvl3's and 4's might be different but...
there is space for quite alot more variation here.
there is only some... 7-8 missions and all of them are no more than simply "go here, mine X units of <insert name of mission ore that is totally useless>, and bring them back to me."
really something more exciting like a good number of chained missions with some kills in the middle would be a good thing. ---

Level 3s start to offer some ice mining missions and level 4s throw some gas cloud harvesting missions into the mix.
If you want kill missions... try some security agents. Because in mining missions, you mine! The problem with adding kill missions to mining mission rotations is that other than frigates/destroyers and the occasional rat cruiser... my hulk cant do anything. So mining kill missions would not be worth it because of worthless frigate bounties. |

no really, I'm just doing it for fun, that's all
the issue that I have is that there seems to be very few content to mining missions when compared to kill missions. ---

When I am not pvp'n or ratting I do lvl 4 mining missions with 4 accounts. I am usually doing them when I want to relax and watch tv or read a book. I use 1 Orca and three Hulks/Mack's. I can do about 3 missions an hour.
Lvl 3's take more attention, as they seems to have more rats to deal with and I would bring a mining rokh with a few HML's fitted to deal with the bigger rats. On lvl 4's I find my drones can take care of all the rats and sometimes I don't see rats for several missions in a row. I pass on the gas cloud missions. ---- My reputation is not solid. |

I like the mining missions I get about equal parts ice, gas and regular ore (slightly more ore then ice is my perception but that's pretty subjective)
Don't skip gas, it's the quickest and most AFK friendly of all of them (although if you've got a hauler and can equip your Mack with ice mining upgrades instead of cargo-expanders then the ice might be slightly quicker).
The thing I've noticed about the mining missions is that they have an awful lot of interesting back story that seems like it could easily form the basis for industrial expansion. An arkonor ore that's unstable and explosive? A crokite ore that doesn't have zydrine but instead has gem-stones? Sounds interesting.

I just wish there was a least a little 'real' ore you could mine like in pewpew missions. ---- My reputation is not solid. |

That would be nice, to make up for the lack of bounties. |

It doesn't seem like it would be particularly unbalancing to put a small arkonor asteroid out beside the arkonor "look-alike" roid... I could mine it at the end and keep make a little extra isk (for a little extra time). Seems like a no-brainer
