Drills not collecting floating ores
Not a Bug
I built a large size miner and ran into the drill transfer issue where the ores are not being delivered to the cargo container.
As a result of the drilling, there are large floating chunks of ore around the drills. When I turned the drills on, the floating chunks were not collected, so I had to go chase them down with my space engineer.
You can see one here between the drills in the attached screenshot.

Hello Jeff Parker,
This is expected behavior. The flying chunks are not voxels but items and as such, Drills cannot pick them up.
Please note that the issue with Drills not pushing ores correctly to Cargo Container has been fixed and should be shipped as a part of VS2.2
As such, I will close this thread as Not a Bug.
Kind Regards,
