The new Ore.

[FlamingOnion_1]

this may be small but I saw some stuff on the 1.0 update and they are adding ore.The problem I saw was they never really named the ore so I was thinking like...Kerbinite or something funny like that.

I believe the resource system in 1.0 is basically Regolith, which allows for custom resources.

You can change it to whatever you want via a config file if it behaves exactly like Regolith, otherwise I'm not sure.

Basically, customizable resource names!

[Vanamonde]

The name of the ore is going to be "ore." Not particularly colorful, perhaps, but certainly unlikely to generate confusion.

Do we know yet what determines the ore distribution? Is it the same all the time for each planet, or does it change for every game? Are there parameters in the save file that can be changed to alter the distribution?

There's a per-save persistent variable, so you won't necessarily get the same distribution in two different saves even in the same install. I haven't heard if the variable is editable in the persistence file, but I assume so. Which isn't to say that you'll be able to just say "increase the ore the Mun's north pole." You'll probably have to know the seed number that would generate said deposit.

[Brotoro]

Or just fiddle with the number (probably have to restart) and look at an insta-scan of the planet to see what's where, perhaps?
