Or maybe they did given that they passed through (and were shown mining
asteroids) numerous systems and simply took what they needed along the
way?  They had, IIRC, at least one ship that was capable of refining
metal (as well as two fuel refining ships).

I strongly suggest the book, "The Science Of Battlestar Galactica" by
Patrick Di Justo and Dr. Kevin Grazier (JPL, Cassini-Huygens, Viking, as
well as working for RAND, among other things).  I'll take their word
that they could do what they showed in the show, based on the science
that Grazier advised them on.
