Copper mine is what works for radio trivia.

North Rankin Nickel Mines (1955). The mine closed in 1962.

When I stopped there (in 1975) there was a large fish cannery (mostly for Arctic Char, a fish in the salmon and trout family).

Today, tourism is also important (nice fishing near Marble Island).

Copper mine for trivia (but it would be "mining industry")
