Dosn't quite work that way...

Mine efficiency increases/decreases the total amount of minerals you can get from a planet. I.e. go from 10 to 11 produces 10% more minerals from the planet. Mineral concentration reduction is not related to efficiency however a player who is more efficient at mining will not necessarily do as well as a player with more mines.

Mineral concentrations decay like this:

12,500/currentmincon = #ofmineyearstodeplete1%

So it takes more and more mine years to deplete a planet as the mincon drops. A more efficient setting gets more minerals, more mines depletes mincons faster.

You'll need to look at this over time and take the sum total of minerals extracted to really see if the investment in more efficient mines is better than more mines operated. Looking only at a single point in time fails to take into account the shape of the decline...
