I mine Kernite for the minerals, not for ISK.
That and Veldspar is a serious pain to haul due to the amount of Trit you get from it.
And Kernite is shiny...must have teh shiny...urgh urgh! Shiny!
I'm not a miner but;
If veldspar is worth more than kernite, why don't you mine Veldspar, sell that, buy the minerals you want and have fun with the extra profit you just made? Or just mine 30% less.
30% more profit makes up for hauling more?
jetcan = 27500m3
veld - volume 0.1 m3, batch 333 units of veld
kernite - volume 1.2 m3, batch 400 units of kernite
veld - 275 000 units/jetcan (825 batches)
kernite - ~22 916 units/jetcan (57 batches)
veld ->
825*1000=825 000 units of trit => 8250 m3 of trit from one jetcan of veldspar (with perfect refining and standings 6.7+ with corp owning the station where you refine)
kernite ->
57*386=22002 units of trit
57*773=44061 units of mexallon
57*386=22002 units of isogen
total= 88065 units (880,65 m3) of minerals from one jetcan of kernite (with perfect refining and standings 6.7+ with corp owning the station where you refine)
Also a hulk pilot with Exhumers IV and 3 MLUs can fill up a jetcan in less than 20 min using T2 crystals (without using mining drones).
And iteron IV can use 4 GSC (15600m3)
Mining is not viable anywhere near trade and manufacturing hubs because of can flippers, suicide gankers, ore thieves and mostly because there are NO roids worth mining (not enough ore to complete 1 cycle of strip miner I). Therefore a miner will mine in a rather remote and quiet system which leads us to hauling  I gave you the numbers you the the math. I am located 7 jumps from closest manufacturing system (read competitive buy order prices). Even if I had refined 90M of trit (109 jetcans of veld, lol), would an obelisk pilot fly 7+7 jumps to buy it at 3.3 and sell it at 3.5? or If I had spent 2 hours mining veld, how many trips would be needed to haul that amount of trit in iteron IV and how much time I'd spent doing it, instead of mining?
And this is why I mine kernite... and trit will rise even more 
PS: I am also a small manufacturer of ammo and probes and i need mex and isogen...

P.S. "...Also a hulk pilot with Exhumers IV and 3 MLUs..."
3 MLU's on a Hulk? I want the ship that pilot is flying!
You've got me! I am a noob and I don't have a Hulk

I am also assuming (maybe wrongly) that Obelisk with freighter IV has 900 000m3 cargohold (not sure of that and if you can use GSC in a freighter).
Also, I'm signing under the petition to rename Hulk to "The Belt Annihilator" and maybe increase the amount/respawn rate of roids.
