Best Answer

The moon does indeed have a little gold on it.

Gold was discovered on the moon along with water, silver and Mercury.

See the link below for an article on it.


However, there is no point in mining it. The cost of building and running a mining facility on the moon plus the cost of transporting the gold back to Earth will cost billions. Whereas gold on Earth is worth just hundreds or thousands. The cost just isn't worth it, it would cost you more to mine and transport than you can sell it for.
