Since the 360 has finite maps, you could assume that the total amounts of minerals found in the map would be a lot more limited. So I was wondering, is it possible to mine every single mineable ore on a map within a reasonable time frame? Has anybody ever run out of iron or diamonds before?
It's theoretically possible, but I just dare you to stick with it long enough to actually accomplish it... No TNT either because that would destroy some of the ores. BTW, that's somewhere around 47 million bllocks you'd need to "process" (mine with a pickaxe) to find all those ores. Good luck!... and then, of course, some of those resources (like iron) are now completely renewable (e.g. iron golems).
Some people think the world is "small" and because it has finite resources they're scared that they'll run out. And eventually you will. Eventually you'll hit a jackpot at Vegas too. Don't worry about it.
I remember there was a guy who started "Operation Bedrock" or something similar. This was before creative mode was available. Not sure what ever happened to him.

Ugh. I can think of a lot of better and more exciting ways to spend my time than doing what this guy is doing.
Regarding the ops question: to mine all of the ore (vanilla), you would have to do something similar to what Operation Bedrock guy is doing. Having a team of committed miners who have too much time on their hands (and preferably no job), mining all of the ore in the MCXB world would still take years (decades?). If you are really curious, you can estimate how much ore is found in an average world based on the ore probabilities found on the wiki; or, doing a little magic on the PC you can gain a better idea of how much ore there is on an average MCXB world.
I find that the ores re-generate and or more spawn in my worlds. I have passed many places in my mine and collected all the iron and etc I saw, left them at that and whenever I came back to certain spots I sometimes found more. Of course after mining the first time and after a while I would save and get off. Next day or two later I would get back on, and I know for sure I got all of the ore from last time. So they just spawn/re-generate more ore in. If they do which im sure they might, then we won't run out of ores to collect.
So if that's the case, probably won't mine all the ore "in a reasonable time". Idk what you mean by reasonable time too be honest, you know how long you would have to play straight with no breaks to mine all ore? Yeah a lot, so if what I said is correct, and you did save, get off and get back on a day or so later, more ores may have generated in the world. So you won't be able to stop.
It's what's happening to me, so don't quote me on it. But I always find new ore in places I already mined. (:

No arguments from me... I would never undertake the project myself and secretly suspect the OP won't either. However, I do respect Sword's tenacity. He has been at it for nearly 2 years now.

That's either a glitch (which is extremely likely) or you just didn't see the ore the first time (also likely). If ore regenerated, 4J would have told everyone. People have also tested this and it didn't work.
To you OP, yes it would be completely possible to mine all or nearly all the ore in an Xbox 360 Minecraft world. However, you can throw doing it in a timely manner right out the window.

I seem to remember a glitch that was happening near the map edges, where ores, lava and water would respawn between saves. I saw it happen many times -- got lots of iron out of it too. I'm pretty sure TU14 or 15 fixed it, though.
I have missed ore myself, usually when I don't torch it enough, I'm in a hurry or I just didn't look up at the right angle. It happens.

It's not me, I know for sure I got all the ore from last time when In that area. I always light up the caves so I can see too. Again, I said it was happening to me so of course it may not be true. But I find new ore sometimes when I walk past a part I already got. So it's possibly be a bug/glitch still.

Since the worlds are not infinite, yes. I did something like that a year ago. I mined every single possible ore in the world. Of course I probably missed one or two, but still.

You probably didn't. You've probably only minecraft 40% of all the ores in your world. Most of them spawn completely in the stone, not even connected to a cave. If you really mined every ore in the world, then you would have also mined half the stone underneath the ground as well. And you've probably missed a few caves too. So no, I'm pretty sure you have tons of ore left.
I was just watching a video by . They've been playing on the same world since minecraft has come out, and mined out pretty much all of the ores in the caves. But they uploaded a video today, and one person found another 18 diamonds just mining a 2x1 tunnel across the world. If they can find more, then I'm sure you can too
What I would like to know is since you'll be able to transfer your saved Minecraft maps from the 360 to the X1 version, will the maps you transfer stay the same size as they are on the 360? or will they be expanded, which means more additional resources, since the maps on the X1 version are supposed to be a lot bigger compared to the maps on the 360 version?

Take 2 minutes to do the math.
865*865*64 blocks per map*. Now find every ore in there.
*Assuming caves and mountains balance it out.

How would they know unless they mined the whole map?
Hummm, let me think. 2 years hard work by multiple people mining only one quadrant, or 30 seconds going into creative.
Tough choice.

And I thought that guy who made videos of stuff falling over was odd....
