.. . .

   In short, the planet had a carbon-rich mantle early
   on. The heat and pressure exerted afterwards would
   likely lead to the formation of diamonds, maybe even
   big sheets of diamond.

   So ... private biz ... how much diamond would you have
   to scoop up to recover the cost of sending an excavator
   probe ???

   Musk might go for it ...

   Extraterrestrial diamonds would have a bonus value too,
   just because.
