Making deeds is simple. You'll need:
110 units of metal (any)
60 units of steel
15 units non-ferrous metal (copper or aluminum)
15 units aluminum
Structure/Furniture crafting station
And once you've got those together, put the deed together. To place it, go at least 1km from acity, find a good concentration of the type of material it can extract (minerals for a mineral extractor, chemicals for a chemical extractor, etc.), then either double click it or highlight with your radial menu and select 1. You'll go to a top-down view of your current area, and you can use the mouse to place it by clicking once. It should take about 35 seconds to complete.
If the structure isn't a wind generator, you'll need to supply it with power. You can use radioactives, or the energy resources you pull from a wind generator (or solar and nuclear, if you advance to architect). Plus you'll need to feed it lots of credits to make sure it's in good health; if you don't, it'll fall apart over time. This is paying the maintanence.
After that, you "Operate Machinery" on it, select what you want it to dig up, then turn it on! (button at the top left side of the "Operate Machinery" window) Wait for it to pull in some goodies, and come back to claim them.
*EDIT* Correction; you need 15 units of Low-Grade Ore instead of the non-ferrous metal.
