Dear student 
Minerals are natural resources and they cannot be replaced by man.
An inexhaustible resource is one that is replaceable, while an exhaustible resource is not replaceable.
Therefore, the constant use of minerals at this rate will lead to their exhaustion. Thus, they are considered as exhaustible natural resources.
