WOK 5 mining

Let's talk about WOK 5!
In my last couple of games I have been playing with the magic aspect of WOK5. Egbert's amazing island game is a good place to do this because there are a very limited number of conections to each space.
I have collected my mining results over several turns from multiple games into an excell spreadsheet to track it. I have noticed that I ALWAYS have more success mining that I expect. I tried to paste this file in the messge, but HTML is OFF so it won't work. Let's see if I can link to it here from my web site.

I calculate the expected number of successful mining efforts based on number of workers x 1.5 (because I only mine in mountains) x success rate. Then I add up all the stuff I actually did mine and compare it to this result. I always get more stuff than I expected. At the bottom of each column are the percentages of each item gained based on a successful mining effort. I had to keep the city and non-city spaces separate to make the calculation meaningful.
Has anyone else noted this? Does anyone really care?
