A lot of mining towns have closed up when the ore (or coal) ran out. Some of them may have gained back population because they are in country that is attractive to the well-off.

I think it's fair to say that some of the rust belt cities decline is due to the iron ore running out in the great lakes region. And some of it was the rentier capitalists attempts to break unions.
