Copper nodes near Black Scratch?

[Killiberke]

My 5 nobodies spawned in the middle of Reaver country. Black Scratch was the first town I stumbled upon looking for a safe haven - and that's where I've been living so far.

I have found copper, but it's pretty far to the Northwest: two nodes on the plateau above a farming village. Quite a trek.

My question: are there any copper nodes closer to Black Scratch that I may have missed?

The hike to the farming village really isn't worth it (and I also get hassled by United Cities and Traders Guild over there).

I just bought copper instead... Iron ore is easy there you can automate about 9 to 12 people.

Turns out I missed some though. Got my science up so I could do more precise prospecting.

There are two nodes in front of the locked Black Dog base (but they are awkwardly placed on top of rocks and the pathing can send your miner straight into a pack of Reavers).

There is another one to the Northwest of Black Scratch, towards the coast (somewhat in between the city and a village of religious nutters that want to sacrifice people to make it rain).

But yeah I buy most of it too now

Thx fr the reply.
