I don't know what your level of technology is; however, you could end up using a so many minerals in building a war fleet to open a route to the planet that the mining return is no longer viable.Low, my ships have ion drives, and a couple of the best asteroids and comets in the sol system have had a mineral or two depleted. Which is why this was such a nice target to move all of my automated mines to. I have a habitable world I've terraformed that has a lot more minerals then this, but in terms of accessibility for this many minerals, it beats or matches even the comets that I've surveyed, while having a lot more minerals than most of them do.
