(I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched this.)
Well, they obviously know how to make it, and expected to be stranded for the next 50 years. Also, it’s essential for all kinds of life-saving machines.
So, obviously they would build some antimatter generator. The show just don’t focus on it. What is a shame, because it could be a more interesting quest than half of the stuff that happens there.
Now that I think about it, are they ever shown hunting for antimatter? Every episode I recall mentions deuterium specifically. So yeah, I would guess they do have a way to generate antimatter on board (that’s hopefully more efficient than the converters used on Galaxy-class ships).
Not mining it, per se, but rather bartering for it from friendly civilizations, etc.
I don’t have the Voyager tech manual, but the TNG one says the Galaxy class ships have an emergency converter that can convert deuterium to antimatter, though it’s quite inefficient and only really useful in emergencies. So I was guessing that Intrepid-class ships have a similar converter, and that it must be efficient enough for normal (re) fueling operations since we only ever see them seeking out deuterium.

They shouldn’t mine antimatter, in none of the shows. It’s not something that exists around our galaxy.
