After mining out all the ore in several mines, I returned (after a month which should be plenty of time for the ore to re-spawn) only to find that I still can not mine the ore. I can tell that it has re-spawned because I can see that the coloration has returned, but I am not able to interact with the ore in any way. Why can't I mine the ore any more?
Why can’t I mine ore veins again even though it looks like they’ve respawned

The coloration returning does not always indicate that it has fully replenished. It will return in due time. If you have already waited a month, it shouldn't be too much longer.
