Why do we need to conserve mineral resources

Explanation : 

• We must safeguard mineral resources since overexploitation is the most important problem, and as a result, they are depleted.
• Due to this, it won’t be available for the use of future generations.
• They are non-renewable, and re-forming them takes millions of years.
• Continued ore extraction leads to rising costs as minerals are extracted from deeper depths, resulting in a drop in quality.

Final Answer :

 Mineral resources must be preserved due to their scarcity. In nature, it takes billions of years for them to refill. Continued ore extraction leads to rising extraction costs and a deterioration in both quality and quantity.
