Gold, platinum, thorium and uranium, maybe some helium and zero gravity manufacture.What do you expect to mine from iron Nickle and rock asteroids that would be worth the 1000 dollars a pound to bring it back
But the problem isnt how high the initial costs are, it is the impact unregulated mining might have on Earth commodity prices.
99% of the mined resources will remain in space for constructing more robots, O'Neil Cylkindeers, stations, and space vehicles.
