That is inaccurate, while yes the Ered Mithrin had been held by the Sigin-tarâg on and off for a few thousand years, they were not the prefered dwelling place. Infact, the only consectutive inhabitation of Durin's Folk was the Iron Hills(as far as we know it never fell to the forces of Morgoth and Sauron), seeing how Khazad-dum fell to the Balrog in the Third Age. I do think that the Grey Mountains should be made richer in material but not in iron-ore.
