Zinc and Manganese MIA in Horizons 1.0.9 world?

[Mahoka]

We've not found any for 2 real life days of 6 players digging. Do they only spawn in certain biomes or strata now?

More info: I just looked into the configs and zinc, platinum, and manganese (possibly others) have "vein chance = 0" and "veins per chunk = 6]" We didn't alter this. Is it default for these not to spawn?

Manganese ore is turned off in /config/Metallurgy3/MetallurgyBase.cfg:

####################
# manganese
####################

manganese {
    ####################
    # misc
    ####################

    misc {
        I:"Block Hardness Level"=2
        I:"abstractor xp"=3
    }

    ####################
    # world gen
    ####################

    "world gen" {
        S:Diminsions=0 2-100000
        I:"Dungeon Loot Amount"=2
        I:"Dungeon Loot Chance"=45
        I:"Max Height"=128
        I:"Min Height"=0
        I:"Vein Chance"=0
        I:"Vein Density"=100
        I:"Vein Size"=4
        I:"Veins Per Chunk"=5
    }

}

Is there a reason it's disabled by default? I didn't change it. And does anyone know the "normal" values to set it at?

If I had to guess it's because manganese is, at least from my experiences, pretty easy to find, and can be combined with iron in a T-Con smeltery to create steel really easily, bypassing the need for mahna mahna. Or maybe someone just really hates Japanese comic books.
