Because when all of the gold gets mined out of the mines it can't be replaced by nature.

A:Gold is a non-renewable resource. The definition of non-renewable resource is this, from the EPA: "A natural resource which, in terms of human time scales, is contained within the Earth in a fixed quantity and therefore can be used once only in the foreseeable future (although it may be recycled after its first use). This includes the fossil fuels and is extended to include mineral resources and sometimes ground water, although water and many minerals are renewed eventually." A:Same with coal

A:

Gold is non renewable because it forms over a long period of time- like oil, coal fossil fuels, etc.
