Cool three-book series that delves into asteroid mining.
Hope there is a lot of chromium, titanium, moly and copper too! With all those metals, it would be able to make a vast array of alloys - make a great starship-yard.
16 Psyche is the remnants of the core of the once inhabited planet between Mars and Jupiter. This planet was destroyed by invading aliens after receiving peaceful radio transmissions that revealed its location to the aliens.
First of all, it says a lot about America that they have to explain how to pronounce psyche.

Yah know, when you have a planet's worth of rocks and minerals, and a star for power, perhaps slap together an O'Neil colony or 20?
But, they are Brits and Leftists. The Stupids. Perhaps we should just leave them behind, to rot in their own squalor...
Hoffman from Gold Rush will probably try to go to it and mine the Gold.
NASA muslims are working on a plan that will change the orbit of the asteroid to bring it closer to earth... dead center actually. thus making the mining of its rich metals easier
By the time we actually get around to mining Psyche, our technology will be so advanced that it will be about as valuable to us then as the discovery of a large deposit of, say, flint would be to us today.
In 100 years, nanotubules and other nano-scale materials made of Carbon will be the most-valuable substances.
