Nothing. Minerals can be used in many ways. There is abundant beach sand but you don't see all glass costing the same.

we will satiate our demand for minerals until other resources become scarce like labor

Nothing since space-mined metals would be bonkers expensive.

First of all, there will never be "infinite" resources. Mining in space cant produce large quantities of perfectly usable materials.

"Hey guys, im just gonna mine some water and some soda"

Also, you have to build technology and hire specialized persons to do the mining.

"We want a person who has 5 years of experience in space mining and a BA in underwater basket weaving."

When you understand that rare resources on earth are generally also rare resources in space, precious metals regain some of their shine.
