Thought some of you might be interested in this.
"Dug in the 1950s, the shaft was briefly active when copper-bearing rocks were discovered there. Sixty years later, Mr. Jacques is tasked with finishing the job by digging a new mine 900 feet down.
“From my perspective, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Mr. Jacques, who works for a subsidiary of Orvana Minerals, a Canadian-based mining company.
This remote area of Michigan, long ago left for dead, is rediscovering its mining roots — raising hopes here and across much of the Lake Superior region that a mining revival is in the making. With copper and other metals trading on commodities markets at consistently high prices, companies are digging into long-neglected deposits for metals that could be worth billions of dollars. "

Well, since Coolcat62 nor Goodbar have answered your question, both widely accepted experts on the subject matter, I shall try my best.
Do not underestimate the magnitude of the paradigm within a paradigm that exemplifies the symbiotic relationship between downriggers and the spur theory. To do so would be foolish.

Thank you my Good Sir!
Mining is like a Wright Brother. They were the first to fly.
Often times the Runt of the pack turns into the alpha male. Often times it dies at a young age.
If we can take anything from Spur Theory we should KNOW that mining will create a population explosion that could result in the Downriggers and Batmen to take over Indian Lake.
