it can never be replaced.
it uses alot of earths energy.
it is easily transported.

Soil is considered to be a nonrenewable natural resource primarily because it takes a very long time to form. The process of soil formation involves weathering of rocks, decomposition of organic matter, and the accumulation of minerals and nutrients over thousands of years. This slow formation rate means that soil cannot be easily or quickly replaced once it is eroded, degraded, or depleted.

What is true about most higher grade metallic ores?
most of them can be extracted used the placer method
they are usually found very close to earths surface---less than 1000 ft underground
they are usually found deep below to earths surface---less than 1000 ft underground
most of them can be extracted without requiring drilling
