for the sake of argument, lets say they found a gold nugget the size of our moon. then what? there'd be no practical (let alone profitable) way to bring it to earth. even if they set up robot mines on the asteroid, it's one of the heaviest minerals, so the transport costs would negate any profit, unless the cost of gold were hyper-inflated
