Prospecting sucks. My metalworker that I recently created churns out 500-800 copper ore per day, two laborers which churn out about 150-200 tin ore. So yeah, try mining it instead. You have to go the extra step of smelting it but it's worth it, and fuel is extremely easy to get anyways.
EDIT: You don't need a concession to get laborers to mine for you. You just need the concession to stash them if you want different types of companions. The best investment tip I can give to all metalworkers is to have at least 3 laborers working 24/7. They work .33x as fast as you, so with 3 that's basically a clone of you harvesting resources for you.
