It looked like the drills were outputing uranium from an iron patch? Visual bug or strange feature?
They mentioned the drill can mine a 12x12 area, so there is probably some uranium from the patch to the right that is close enough for it to get. Looking more closely, there is a sulfuric acid pipe running to the drill. I don't know how this works with the current miners, but perhaps piping in the acid forces it to mine the uranium instead of the iron?
Ah yes, it's drilling a mixed patch of course. :)
Probably a byproduct of the huge mining range
