Only with the investment of massive amounts of energy and landing millions of tons of equipment to process regolith and melt out important components. The same materials can be found in near earth asteroids without that massive investment, or being buried in such a large gravity well. It’s like saying we can process good out of seawater, which we can, but it’s hand waving away the massive difficulties.
