I agree 100%
This is something I was wondering, but didn't see covered, actually, that ties into exactly this topic.
If a resource isn't shown on the map now does it mean it's not present at all? Or, rather, is it not a resource yet discovered/built to be mined/harvested/etc by the county itself?
IE, you can't mine gold without a mine. If there's no mines built might it be there yet undiscovered still?

From my understand and how SbS has explained it, currently shown resources are those that are readily available and currently exploited. Therefore it could be possible that given new technologies and natural resources discoveries, new resources could be found.
Again this is just from my own understanding.

It has not been communicated with 100% clarity. I understood it from the dev video that just present does not mean exploited just that it potentially could be exploited. To further elaborate Snipehunter's comments is that just because it shows as Present and Present means accessible does not mean it is worthy of exploitation. Examples he gave was the quality was terrible and would not result in good production or it was extremely difficult to access, in the case of stone perhaps 20 feet below overburden.
As a result, based on the dev video, it would be safe to say what little stone and ore is within MLF is either incredibly difficult to access or is sub-par in quality. As a result, Seele's questions are incredibly important and I hope will be answered by the Devs before the selection windows are communicated.
We have a similair problem in Selene in the broadleaf forests. almost no minerals or stone. In one duchy even none on duchy level.
But as far as i understanded its still possible that the resources are there but just not discovered (not visible on county level) or not exploited (visible on county but not on settlement). Mostly because that duchy has several big mountainranges, if there isnt stone there what are those made of? The bones of the expelled brudvir?
