Time to buy mining rights to a worthless piece of desert, and then deorbit ingots into it. They'll have to dig them out of the impact craters - does that count as mining?

If the desert's in Texas, you might get it classified as mine tailing cleanup and get a tax abatement for it.

In that case, royalties will be owed to the government.
