Resurgence anag Greece runs

1d Resurgence - anagram

6d- Maybe they will accept IMPOSTER but although it's a common spelling I believe IMPOSTOR is more favoured by dictionaries

[scorpiojo]

.. I can see Cu as copper..

[Mamyalynne]

I've never seen Imposter spelled with an 'o'

[fiction-factory]

I agree with the copper- maybe the Cu at the start is also a reference to copper but as with many RTE clues I can't fully parse copper mine

[scorpiojo]

'Down under' = mine?

[fiction-factory]

I remember being taught it was IMPOSTOR (maybe the IMPOSTER came from US). Not conclusive but here is a reference. http://grammarist.com/spelling/imposter-impostor/

[poorclare]

Thank you my friends,

[fiction-factory]

Does Chambers mention both, Mamyalynne. RTE may use their own dictionary of course, and maybe they use IMPOSTER as they are a bit closer to America than we are

[Mamyalynne]

Never too old to learn, I doubt I'll change how I spell it now, thanks though.

[Mamyalynne]

Chambers says 'Imposter' see 'Impostor' - so it bears out what you're saying.
