Although I am not Achura, I would like to find out some opinions on improving my Mining Skills. I have the following skills trained to the appropriate level and need some input from this community. I did a Search using EVE Search and came up with like 15 pages of advice, but nothing for what I am really looking for. Here is my STATS:
Drones - Mining Drone Operation - LVL 4 (Although I don't use them that much)
Electronics - Survey - LVL 3
Industry - All Ore Processing at LVL 4 (Veldspar Training to 5)
Industry - Ice Harvesting at LVL 5
Industry - Ice Processing at LVL 4
Industry - Industry at LVL 5
Industry - Mining at LVL 5
Industry - Refining at LVL 5
Industry - Refining Efficiency at LVL 5
Science - Astrogeology at LVL 5
Science - Metallurgy at LVL 5
That's about all I can see that might be related to Mining. Learning Skills, the top 5, at LVL 5.
What skills should I train to improve my mining? I just returned to EVE-Online after about 1 year, 8 months being away. Lots of changes and was wondering if there is anything I can do to improve.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Just a few I see missing...
Drone Interfacing - Gives 20% bonus mining yield to mining drones (if you get it to lvl 5, you're basically doubling the output of your drones)
Mining Upgrades - Higher levels allow you to equip MLUs with less drawback
Electronics/Electronics Upgrades - Help compensate for the major CPU draw of those MLUs above
Mining Barge/Exhumers - If you're really serious about mining, these are a must-have. Every level grants a significant output of your Barge/Exhumer
Cybernetics - There are some really sexy (but expensive) mining implants that require the higher levels of Cybernetics
Leadership skills - If you mine with other people, Mining Foreman and Mining Director both help with boosting output.

Thanks Jak. I guess I forgot about some of the skills that I have. I do have Drone Interfacing at LVL 5 and when I restarted, saw the Hulks and had to have one. Got my Exhumers up to LVL 3 for now, and Mining Barges at LVL 5. The Cybernetics skill is at LVL 3, but I can not afford any of those, yet.
I do not have any of the Mining or Electronics Upgrades, so that is the direction I am going to improve for now. And I did notice the bonuses with the Mining Foremant and Director and will grab some of those skills also.
Thank you very much for your help as I wasn't for sure what all I could improve on since the latest few patches.

This might help you too Private. It is a great guide on everything mining.

FYI: Training mining director will not help you to mine. It's only used by Ganglinks that you cannot put into barges nor exhumers.
Train Drone Navigation to speed up your drones. Scout Drone Operation and Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing to have larger drone range.
Skills like Mechanic, Hull Upgrades and Shield Management are good to have for little more hull, armor and shield. Especially useful in 0.0 systems where NPCs do nasty damage.
Evasive Maneuvering, Navigation and Warp Drive Operation also nice to have. (Navigation skills)
