Why might metals become unavailable on earth?

Is there a plausible reason that the world might not be able to get any sort of metal from Earth, short of what we already have? I was thinking it could begin in our sort of "modern" day and age, but could happen over a relatively long span of years. I'm mostly looking for something scientific, but other possibilities could be considered.
