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.

I'd leave it well alone and try to get the poor Telescope out of there. (Good luck).

I discovered an amazing world to set up automated mines on, It's not large enough for a population, but it has a great accessibility and good amounts of a lot of resources.

And it hasn't had a geological team survey done yet either.  It's a small world in the Wolf 629 system.

The catch lies in the neighboring system:
<SNIP>
In which you can see the only known route to the Wolf 629 system, along with a nearby pair of gigantic plasma torpedo armed battleships of death.  Floating nearby is the wreckage of my last attempt to set up a route to this mining world.  As seen by a nearby small ship with big passive sensors, which is trying to remain unnoticed.
