The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is known as Copper Country. The old Cliff Mine is just one of several areas with tailings that are legally accessible to the public. A great place to explore mineralogy and geology, and of course pulling metallic copper straight out of the rocks... there's nothing more Lithic Metals than that!

    Why didn't you climb the tailing pile to the left of the Cliffs? At the top is a red brick mine shaft with a tree growing up, and a small crater to the right that appears to be the top of a stope. Wish I had my camera w/ me...

  • Up there by rip van Winkle campground along the rail road tracks you can find copper pellets that had fell off the shipping cars carrying the copper.

    Wow. Jeff, I think I've run into you at cliff before. Never would have known you were the Jeff from Lithic. I wouldn't be surprised if you've run into my dad more than once. He's there basically 80% of the summers that and. Central mine

    You must be up towards top point of UP??? I lived in Jessieville/Ironwood,
  • What do you usually end up doing with the copper ore? Do you extract it or just leave it. I’m very interested in starting to put copper in my collection.
