(Fleshed out and corrected description of Prospecting Results, changed bold items to italics to ensure conformity with style guide and added links for ore/minerals that were not originally linked. Renamed "Deep Copper" to just "Copper" and capitalized Diamond and Emerald. Added example of prospecting reading. Cleaned up punctuation marks.)

From highest to lowest chance of spawning, the categories displayed are: Ultra High, Very High, High, Decent, Poor, Very Poor.  This category is followed by the name of the ore, and a number in parentheses, which given in parts per thousand or 'PPT' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_mille per mille] - note there are two zeros below the slash, &#8240;, as opposed to a normal percent sign, %, which has one zero below). This number represents the amount of blocks in 1000 (the amount of blocks in a chunk) that may be of that specified ore should it have spawned (miniscule readings indicate that the ore is NOT available in the current chunks, but may be available in the neighboring chunks).

Using the [[Bismuthinite]] reading above as an example, you have a medium chance of locating the ore in your chunk, and approximately 19 blocks of the 1000 in this chunk contain the ore, while the [[Copper]] reading shows a low chance of locating the ore in your chunk, but if it ''did'' spawn, it would provide approximately 81 blocks of ore.
