Drop from that corp of yours, asap. That or take the advice of L'ouris and make them pay for their incompetence. The whole point of a mining/newbro corp is to show new players the ins and outs, and to answer questions like yours. If you have to turn to the forums for this, what are they offering you?

I strongly suggest you get at least two copies of two mining ship to have a sustainable mining experience.

One AFK mining ship: a procurer, fit it with tanking modules. Needs to be checked every 20 minutes or so. Don't forget to use the "orbit" command to avoid trolling from people who have fun pushing afk miner's ships. Don't be silly and don't orbit the asteroid you're mining...

Suggested AFK fitting:

Drones: 2x Hornet EC-300, 3x Hammerhead. Gankers should have a terrible experience trying to lock on you because of ECM drones and won't kill you because you have so many HPs. Not saying it can't happen but only idiots would try.

So yes if you plan to afk a lot then focus on unlocking the barge and then tanking skills and drones.

You also need a ship for active mining with bonuses to yield and stuff like that. See the wiki.

If you plan to do active mining, there are a lot of guides out there and you should just read the advanced mining guide on the official wiki.

The warp core stab is kind of pointless. It requires far more than one vessel to gank that Procurer, which means they will easily have enough points on you to render the warp core stab ineffective.

Fitting a Mining/Ice Upgrade instead would increase yield by almost 10%, enough to be worth fitting considering any other module adds only minor amounts of EHP.

Also, T2 shield rigs is a bad idea. You are making it possible to gank you with positive efficiency by doing that. Replace them with two T1s and use the third slot for an Ice Harvester Upgrade. Another cheap tank rig if ice mining isn't done.
