The total estimated market price for metals found in the 2 kilometer diameter metallic asteroid 1986 DA in early 2010 is over 25 trillion dollars

The Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies of 1967 precludes this asteroid becomming private property. No same investor will invest in such a project. So the profits you suggest will never happen, unless we withdraw from the treaty.
