Ore is non-renewable, because all of the raw metal ores found in the Earth were here when the Earth formed; in fact, were here in the gas cloud that formed the Sun and the solar system. The metals were created in the hearts of ancient dying stars, which exploded as supernovae and blasted the new metallic atoms into space.

However, the metal atoms are rarely used up, and much of this material can be reclaimed as scrap and forged anew.
