Well, try this old article:

I know there are private companies in America doing work to get there for 1 reason, profit.
Do you really think that money would be a problem for Chinese government? Do you think that China wouldn’t fight like the devil to keep every other nation off the moon?

Online scifi bs. I reiterate there isn't anything of value on the moon that is anywhere near the cost of getting it. Since you appear to be sincere if completely naive about it, think of this.

1. The Apollo program brought back 838.2 lb of rocks form the moon. That was as much as they could. If they had any more capacity, they would have returned more. The rocks have no intrinsice value, excpet for the fact that they came from the moon you could pick up any equal weight of rocks and dirt from a vacant lot and get the same worth
2. In 2009 NASA itself estimated that the total cost of the Apollo program was $170,000,000,000 in 2005 dollars
3. The rate of inflation from 2005 to 2013 was 19.3%
4. Now calculate first inflat to current dollars multiply $170 bil by 1.193 = $202.82 Billion
5. Now divide $202.82 billion by 838.2 = $241,958,959.68 per pound or $15,122,434.98 per ounce

There isn't any commodity that has in intrinsoc value even close to that high.

"Lunar resources" is a myth promulgated by those who don't have a clue about the economics of the situation.
