An updated version of adamius's Ore manager mod ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ore-manager ). I take no credit for the creation of the mod and have only updated the .json file to allow it to run in Factorio 1.1, therefore any issues cannot be supported.
This mod allows you to move ore patches using an ore manager chest. Simply place the chest on an ore patch to pick up and place the chest elsewhere to place the patch.
