Question:

Is the copper industry in Michigan reviving?

I know the price of copper has spiked. Has any mining operations resumed in the Keewanaw penisula due to this price rise?

Answer:

with copper and other precious metals prices on the rise i expect to see many abandoned copper mines to be revived as long as prices stay where they are or higher. i believe the break even price of copper is 50 to 60 cents a pound.
