The cost of getting the asteroid to orbit, transportation (back and forth), and mining it would be too much. Even if we do this, keeping in mind that we can find some elements that we are aware of, I think it is way more important for humanity overall to execute this mission because there is always an upside that we can discover something that is much more valuable just like the company can sell the piece of just an asteroid as a souvenir.
