Like gold, platinum or diamonds are actually valuable enough to mine from another planet. Show me a financially viable business model for a Mars mining operation

It would have to be a hell of a lot of precious items to be worth mining with our current tech. I think that platinum would be the most valuable. I reckon that by the time we're able to mine Mars we'll need precious metals more than we'll need diamonds which will probably be fairly easy to make.
