I was trying to figure out how to produce magnetized material that would behave much stronger than normal magnet. I am guessing it could be metal of perfect mineral structure and high density – some kind of “diamond” among metal materials. As I know it is still easier to find and mine diamonds than produce them, so I tried to find an origin place of such new mineral. It couldnt be the earth surface, where even diamonds are rare. This new kind of metal must reguire diffrent enviroment... much stronger preasurre but not such high temperature like under Earth surface. So why not Mars?

If you're looking for somewhere with 'much stronger pressure than Earth', Mars won't be any help to you: it is smaller and less dense than Earth.
Plus, the journey time currently stands at six months each way, which would probably put your transportation costs into orbit.

Mars would not be the place to look for such materials, you want bigger planets, maybe a small gas giant like neptune.
as for mining on mars... theoretically yes, but consider the costs. we are still struggling to cope with the problems of sending a single person there... well, actually it will probably be a small group... but massive equipment, power sources? personell? supplies? broadband internet?
it would be much cheaper to find anything we might need in the bowels of good old gaia...

If it's high magnetic fields you want, a superconducting electromagnet is the way to go.

Try ebay.
