Why would you post a question like that without even taking a look on Castor? It's all there. :)

It's going to sort the men from the boys on the mining and hauling front.

DCM is on the test server! This is what I've gleaned so far:
DCM requires a new skill (Deep Core Mining), which has mining 5 + astrogeology 5 as pre-requisites. It also requires a special laser (Deep Core Mining Laser), which a) needs 150TF of CPU to fit, and b) sucks cap whilst active. This means you need a ship with big CPU and a big cap to fit and run more than a couple of these.
DCM is aimed at a new ore (Mercoxit), which yields a new mineral (Morphite), which will be required for building Tech II stuff (apparently).
Mercoxit is about 2.5 times more bulky than Ark/Bist/Crok, the requirements for a refine are 250 units IIRC.
So -- you need hard-core mining skills as a pre-requisite, the right kind of ship (basically, one which doesn't exist yet!), and some serious hauling to do DCM effectively.
I had read that there were other elements to DCM, eg. the activity throws up a cloud which damages your ship, and you should be able to DCM normal ores, but none of this seemed to be working, so who knows if DCM will make it into the game today.  Given that Tech 2 ship BPs won't be around immediately I can't see the rush myself.
