I got a quest from Booty Bay that sent me up behind Hammerfall into a little cave, I think the ore is Rethban or something. Skilled like crazy there, over 200 and still gaining strongly. I think the special ore veins there were considered the equivalent of iron. I don't know if they'd have continued to skill me past 225, but I got a whole whack of skill running around collecting ore for the quest and killing kobolds for motes of Myzrael.

You forget: mining skill is COMPLETELY independent of blacksmithing skill. My gathering is that he NEEDS copper to get out of it in his blacksmithing. Your tip, while helpful for mining, does nothing to solve his real problem.
Mining will ALWAYS exceed Blacksmithing. This just furthers that gap.
