Detected ore disappearing after save, exit, reload if not mined/interacted with first
Submitted
As the title says, ore that is scouted out, on the surface/exposed or buried, will disappear after reloading if not interacted with prior. Only way to make the ore placement permanent is to mine at least a small amount, otherwise the game does not seem to remember the ore was spawned upon initial discovery. Already had a ton of gold, lead, etc disappear this way that I didn't have the time to reach before leaving the game session.
I conducted a test and proved it true as an exposed lead ore vein disappeared between saving, exiting the game to windows, and loading back in. I was on a large mass near the Kemik Station (~10km) for reference.
I have the same bug 
I may have had ore disappear after small interaction as well, will test next.

I usually tend to scout out asteroids whenever I see them. I will, generally, only stop if ore is detected and drop a GPS waypoint. Lately, when re-visiting marked asteroids, the rock still exists but there is no ore detected where my waypoint is made. In fact, it seems that the rock is completely devoid of any ore despite it's size.
There is a possibility that the distance moved from the asteroid as well as whether or not the ore has been interacted with are factors. The greater the distance, plus a lack of interaction with the ore (and/or the probability of the ore being on the outer surface latest asteroid visited having a silver deposit at the surface upon return to GPS waypoint. The only variant of asteroid re-visit that runs counter to my silver revisit is a small broken cluster that was marked with iron and gold which vanished without being touched.

So, I found that interacting sufficiently* with ore deposits makes them permanent. Taking a tiny bit is not a guarantee. I hope this gets fixed soon.. Every bit of discovered ore is either a commitment or accepted loss :(
