Can't mine ore veins that appear to have respawned

Weeee, a thread not related to Hearthfire! Hopefully this doesn't slip off into page 5 in like 20 seconds.

So I decided that it's time for my character to restock on his supply of iron ingots. His last run was done at the mine at Halted Stream Camp; tons of iron ore veins in there.

Now it's been a very long time since he last went there, and upon entering, it LOOKS like the ore veins have respawned. As in, the ore veins look colourful.

However, when I point my crosshair to it, I don't get the option to mine it.

I also tried equipping my pickaxe and hacking away at it; it plays the distinct mining impact noise but nothing happens no matter how many times I hack away at it.

Bug?

Only have USKP 1.1 loaded.

Leave and re-enter the area to toggle collision back on on the ores.

Ah thanks, that worked! Must be one of those weird Skyrim glitches I guess. :S
