Yes, metallic minerals are a resource that humans cannot replace in nature. It takes nature many hundreds of thousands of years to compile mineral deposits and when those minerals are removed, humans can't replace them. That is why it's so important to recycle mineral products such as metals when their usefulness has been completed.
Is metallic minearals a renewable resource?

How can scientists predict that the worlds aluminum supply will be gone someday?
There are two different kinds of natural resources, renewable and non-renewable. Minerals and metals mined from the Earth are for the most part a non-renewable resource. When it's gone that's it.
