There is no real shortage of metal. Most of the metal that has been mined exists on the surface in some sort of oxide or such and if we really get short we can just start recycling humans. Each human is about 34 lbs of various metals including the gold and silver in their teeth and their jewelry. Throw them in a processor and in 70 years you have about 1.5 million tons of metal per year. A whopping 3000 tons of precious metals per year alone would make the largest mine of its kind in the world. Mining rust on the planet would add about 1 billion tons of iron per year to the equation. After you run out of that, you could start on metal oxides and silicates in rock. Most rock is metal oxide or silicate. There is about 1000 trillion tons of that to go through. Iron, Magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium, aluminum, you name it, you got it. I decided to edit this, because I realized that there is some danger of someone agreeing with me on this. The above opinion including this critique of it is egregiously wrong. EC<:-}
