(Added table for region specific ore distribution, and seperated out the older table from before the terrain update. I only have data for Dusk Valley on Venus currently (I'm not cool enough to know how to pull game files, but I have a tablet and a dream).)
(Added several region ore counts. May need to move to the article for venus, and have the regions on the map image highlighted, as areas other than starting areas are not particularly useful if you only have their name.)

Description

Drills through terrain until it hits bedrock. Once inside bedrock 10 or 11 Dirty Ore is produced every 80 to 100 seconds[1]. Both values are random each time, by average 10.5 ore every 90s (7 ore per minute).

Drill consumes 500 watts

Data/logic parameters currently incomprehensible to page contributor.

Region Ore distribution

Since update 0.2.5903.26007 (terrain update), deep ore generation is now tied to regions, with each region yielding a set ratio of ores, some regions containing only a single ore type for deep mining, with others containing two or three. The deep mining yield of a region can be detected using the Deep ore scanner tablet cartridge or using the Motherboard (Map) and a Rocket Deep Scanner Head.

Ore Distribution by Region and Position

Region Ore 1 Ore 2 Ore 3
Venus - Dusk Valley Silver 100% - -
Venus - Lily Valley Nickel 100% - -
Venus - Maple Valley Lead 100% - -
Venus - Triumph Valley Gold 100% - -
Venus - Horizon Valley Silver 50% Nickel 33.3% Lead 16.7%

Ore Distribution (Prior to 0.2.5903.26007 (terrain update))

Prior to the Terrain update, most locations had the same ore-distribution table, Venus and Vulcan being the exceptions. The percentages may not add up to exactly 100% due to rounding, and your numbers may be slightly different due to the random number generator that selects what ore comes out of a Dirty Ore when cleaned.

Ore Standard Venus Vulcan
Iron 39.5% 40.0% 31.7%
Gold 5.7% 4.9% 4.2%
Uranium 0.6% 0.7% 0.7%
Copper 14.3% 20.6% 18.2%
Hydrocarbon 20.2% 19.8% 17.0%
Silver 2.9% 3.8% 8.3%
Nickel 3.0% 3.3% 7.7%
Lead 2.9% 1.8% 2.1%
Silicon 9.1% 4.3% 8.6%
Cobalt 1.7% 0.9% 1.5%
