AstroForge is starting to make the case for mining a few thousand kg / $100 million worth of platinum at a time from asteroids to bring home on about a 2-year roundtrip. It seems like the business case there is close to working because of reduced costs for launch and spacecraft construction.
I haven’t heard anyone make a compelling case for Lunar mining yet, though.
