Yes, yes we could. Just as soon as the cost of whatever metals are available on the moon rises above the cost of launching a multi-ton rocket into orbit, building a mining facility on the moon, and hauling all that crap back to earth. Repeatedly. Far easier to send it back than to send it up. Most of that is sunk cost.
