galore

'a lot of it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'delay coming back with mineral' is the wordplay.
'delay' becomes 'lag' (lag is a kind of delay).
'coming back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'mineral' becomes 'ore' (ore is a kind of mineral).
'lag' back-to-front is 'gal'.
'gal'+'ore'='GALORE'

'there's' is the link.
