The display is based on the '''first''' of the three blocks prospected (broken). The game reads the chunk density map and displays the densities of all the ores in the chat window. These values reflect the potential density, not the actual ore. | The display is based on the '''first''' of the three blocks prospected (broken).

From greatest to least dense the value categories are: Ultra High, Very High, High, Decent, Poor, Very Poor.
