Enough metals to probably crash a handful of industries on Earth.

Not even remotely economical, if we account for the transport costs.

The moon would be a useful gateway to many of the outer planets since it's gravity is weaker, and there's no atmosphere, in addition to the raw materials.

And what do we want to do there? It has the same problem as the moon.
