You could use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the mixture, as iron is magnetic while the other substances are not.

Is nickel a nonrenewable resource?

Yes. Nickel, a metal, is a nonrenewable resource. What is here is all that is here and we can't "grow" or "make" it. This is true of all the metals we mine, refine and use. But nickel is quite abundant in the earth's crust. Iron and nickel are the "normal" endproducts of stellar nucleo-systhesis, which is the fusion processes stars are doing and is the source of their energy. That means that iron and nickel should be abundant in a number of planets and in the "space rocks" we see. We have lots of iron and nickel and there are lots of nickel-iron meteorites on display in museums and being found in the field.
