Today I mined out an abandoned mineshaft for iron ore to power my beacon. Strangely, in a timespan where I might find 1-2 stacks of iron ore through mining in normal caves, I found almost 4. I heard a rumor a while back (no idea where it came from) that more ores will spawn near these structures...
