Nickel is non renewable, because there is only so much nickel in the mines, and when the mines are played out, there is no more. However, nickel is also recyclable.
There is also a scheme currently being developed to import asteroids to Earth, and they contain huge amounts of nickel, so if the human race starts to exploit the mineral resources of the solar system rather than only those of the planet Earth, the whole game changes. That remains hypothetical at present, however.
One of the major nickel mines is at Sudbury Ontario. Interestingly it supports the "space based" aspect of nickel as a resource. The ore body was formed some 1.85 billion years ago when an asteroid 10 to 20 km in diameter slammed into Earth. The strike either cracked our planet's crust allowing nickel, copper and platinum to flow up or melted as it struck to form the nickel deposit.
