Mercoxit mining, doing off the top of my head math

Just want to verify I'm not overlooking something, as I'm not too familiar with the new mining barges and haven't mined in forever.
This is the (very very basic) numbers I did:

Mercoxit takes 250 units to refine. At 40m³ per unit, this means 10,000 m³ per refine.
Using a Retriever with T1 strips and T2 upgrades, that means about 10 minutes per refinable load, or 6 refinable loads per hour.
1-dose yield:
530 Morphite
Or, 3180 morphite per hour.
Morphite sells for 6700 per unit.
Total per hour: 21306000, or roughly 21.5 million per hour.

Is this correct?

You can't mine Mercoxit without crystals.

Too lazy to do the math, but for a ballpark figure, Plagioclase is typically about the same as Mercoxit.

Use the program in my sig. Select the Deep core mining laser to see mercoxit.

Not just crystals but you need to use Modulated deep core strip miner II's. They have a much lower yield than normal strip miners.
Mercoxit can not be directly compared to any other ore.
If not for the mercoxit rigs it would not even be worth mining.

That was assumed, as Mercoxit crystals don't fit into any lasers other than Deep Core. Blink

As others have said, I wouldn't bother with mining mercoxit for profit. If anything just mine it for your manufacturing needs.
