Because it takes millions of years to create minerals. The industrial revolution is only a couple of hundred years old - yet we're exhausting minerals at an alarming rate !
Uranium can be exhausted by using this metal as a nuclear fuel.But we are still far from it.
i guess the question should be why instead of where.
Most minerals are created on geologic time scales of millions of years. The massive mining techniques and the huge consumption and demand for products created from minerals has only occurred in the last several centuries.
Yes, it is possible for the supply of certain minerals to be exhausted, particularly if they are not replenished naturally or if their extraction exceeds the rate at which they can be replaced. Factors such as over-mining, environmental regulations, and depletion of accessible reserves can contribute to mineral scarcity. Additionally, rising global demand for minerals can accelerate the depletion of specific resources, leading to potential shortages in the future. Sustainable practices and recycling efforts can help mitigate this risk.
by sun, human activities, global warming (indiectly) over heating etc.................
Whenever a natural resource appears to be 'exhausted', excavation ceases. However, in future times, technology can improve or the prices of the natural resource increase so that mining is profitable again.

There could be several reasons why you have been so exhausted. It could be that you are just not getting enough sleep, or it could be that you are under a lot of stress. If the exhaustion continues, it is best to see a doctor to find the cause.
