Maybe it would be safer to just grab the "mini moons" that Earth
captures periodically:

"But new research has unearthed (...unmooned?) evidence that our
planet occasionally captures “mini-moons” every once in a while.
These tiny asteroids zoom around our planet as temporary natural
satellites."


Wouldn't it be easier since it's already in Earth capture?


Easier, no doubt, but you'd kind of like to pick something worth
mining and relying on random chance is unlikely to deliver that very
often.
