Traditional mining supports were just tree logs. No metal, no rope. Literally just 1 log. heck, even some modern mines still use them as support, simply because a single tree is much more sturdy and durable than a bunch of fucking boards nailed together could ever hope to be.

Not everyone manages to find deposits of it though, not enough spawns to actually smelt all the metal for sure.
