There are many interesting asteroids.
The bulk of them, however, are simply stoney. Only about 4%of NEA's
are the Iron-Nickel type. But that's still a hell of a lotof
Platinum.
What's exciting is the Iron is pure. It's not like the Ironon
earth, mixed with lighter elements and, because of this plus earth's
gravity, comparatively difficult to process.
