Compare these:
Falun Mine (Stora Kopparberget): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Mine

Rammelsberg (Harz mountains): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammelsberg

They both operated for 1000 years and more.
They both had primarily copper (among other metals).
They both are now UNESCO world heritage sites.

Only one of them has a goods produced modifier in game.

Maybe you could have a look at this? Thx

Kopparberget gets a modifier because of none of those things. It's there because it alone accounted for up to 2/3 of the world output of copper in the era.
Rammelsberg is both an interesting and significant mine and I wouldn't rule out local flavor for it in the future, but it won't be comparable to the modifier in Dalaskogen. :)
 
OK, fair enough. Obviously, I don't have access to output statistics of both. :) However, while if we are strictly speaking about copper I can understand your argument, there have been an abundance of other ores extracted from Rammelsberg, chief among these silver, which contributed greatly to the wealth of the region. So I believe we should not only look at total output of copper, but rather total output of metal and weight in the respective value of that metal: "The ore contained an average of 14% of zinc, 6% lead, 2% copper, 1 g/t gold and 140 g/t silver."

Thanks for the reply, by the way :)
