Experimenting, trying to solve it
Clicked the colapsed mine (with depo) and demo'd the mine, deposit stayed, but still doesnt allow me to build on top of it...
Possible solution, demo all colapsed mines before sending out your geo, this way it cant find a depo on a colapsed mine..... (havent tried this one yet)
Refreshed after demolishing the colapsed mine, made it possible to build the mine....

Some wierd stuff happening with deposits too...
Had something similar. Had collapsed copper mines, which I refound with geo no problem. Built my copper mines on top, but the deposit symbol stayed:
A refresh fixed it.
Had this with marble too
Refresh didnt helped
Also had the problem with marble, showing an empty depo on top of a colapsed pit.
I demolished the pit first so only the empty depo was left, then send out my geo to refind it.
Vilius, try to demo the pit, then refresh....
it might work
Thank you for your reports! They have been passed on and the issue has been inserted into our database.
Later edit: Once the mine has been demolished and you refreshed the game, the issue should not happen again for the same deposit. Please let me know if this is the case or if the same deposit continues to exhibit the same issue.

Played with this some. It appears it can be worked around in the short term.
1) Ore location discovered with existing mine depleted/collapsed. Was able to destroy the collapsed mine and build a new one.
2) Ore location discovered with no existing mine, but location would not mouse-over and couldn't build. Went to friends island, came back, and was able to build.
3) Marble location was showing depleted, but marble was there and settler was working it - deleted depleted anyway just for looks. Nothing changed, site still being worked.
4) Floating 'eye' on ore locations after the mine had been built. Visiting a friend and returning clears this up. So does leveling up it appears. (corrected - leveling up does not remove "the eye")
Are there other issues? So far I can deal with these for now...

Sorry, but I've slept since then...
Iron and marble deposits in particular.
When a new deposit is found the graphic still shows a depleted mine. Only by hovering over the deposit can you tell if it has any resource in it.
A built mine still shows as a depleted mine. Refresh fixes these problems except on the top middle marble mine (for me). Again the old bug of geos reporting having not found a deposit because you already have the maximum number of this deposit type, is happening when there is still a deposit to be found (no, not the extra deposits that require a geo skill to find) and again it takes a refresh for the game to show that the geo actually did find that deposit.
Can we do something about this please as it really is making it hard work to do my daily deposit rebuild. Thank you.
