Martians erected a small commemerative plaque in 1960 when Marsnik 1 blew up on launch. They were really looking forward to visitors.
Another plaque for Marsnik 2, also a launch failure. Then another for Sputnik 22, which broke up after launch... the Martians were getting worried.
The Martians built a Museum of Human Failures, after Mars 1 flew by Mars and never even sent anything back to Earth. Then Sputnik 24 refused to leave Earth orbit, and one of the youngest Martians chuckled a bit... the older ones hushed him, because that was rude. Zond 1964A blew up on launch and the Martian that used to make the "Welcome To Mars" banners, said he wasn't gonna bother next time. Mariner 3 kinda took off in the wrong direction... most of the Martians didn't even stick around for the pie-eating contest.
Then Mariner 4 was a success! (but the Martians just watched it flyby and take a few pics... they were sure it didnt even spot the Nixon 68 banner they put up)
Zond 3 failed to communicate back to Earth, most of the Martians weren't even watching.
Then Mariner 6 and 7 both successfully flew by and snapped a few pics. The Martians had some hope again. Little Z'Timmy the Martian was wearing his "The Eagle Has Landed" tee shirt, it fit pretty well after he cut a few more arm holes.
The next four missions to Mars all failed! (someone vandalized the Museum crossing off the world Failures and scratched in Bungles) Several Martians packed up and moved to a small community outside Miami.
Anyway... 14 more missions to Mars either failed or weren't much of a success, so... what can you find on Mars? A bunch of junk from Earth (out of warranty).

Well, right away you would want to note that the atmosphere on Mars is 95.3 percent Carbon Dioxide. So you will not want to sell any Carbon Dioxide because it is everywhere. There is 2.7 percent Nitrogen gas, 1.6 percent Argon gas, and 0.4 percent Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide, and other trace gases.
So, there would be an excellent market for Oxygen.
There is a solid mantle (crust) of silicate rock on the surface with dense materials such as iron, nickle, and copper deep beneath the surface within the central core. Volcanic activity in long past years has scattered a lot of iron oxide dust across the surface so abundant iron would exist. Probably couldn't sell it to anyone.
Water...water is apparently only available at the poles of the planet, so that the rest of the geography appears bone dry.
If I were to set up my list of valuable things on Mars, I would place Oxygen first, immediately followed by Water. Death by lack of Oxygen happens pretty fast. Death by lack of water takes quite a bit longer. As a result, oxygen should be valued at a price that is 100 times the price of water.
Real Estate is going to be rather cheap because there is a lot of it available. The most expensive real estate will be all of that surrounding the water supplies at the poles, and in other areas where large pools of water might be found underground near the surface (drilling rigs required).
With such a long history of volcanic activity in the past, on Mars there are likely to be large deposits of gem stone crystals scattered about here and there. So, the miners will head out looking for evidence of specific, valuable rock materials fairly quickly (Gold bearing ore, Silver bearing ore, Diamond and Gem Stone bearing rock materials, etc. Gem Stones and refined Gold / Silver could be the major bartering material on the planet. Gem Stones are far easier to carry around than silver or Gold.
Gem Stones:
Diamond
Sapphire
Ruby
Emerald
and a whole list of other less valuable materials...

i became on YouTube staring at an previous Disney action picture that explored the opportunity of one day sending a fleet of ships to Mars to work out what became there. The action picture featured a breathtaking historic previous of area exploration beginning from the time of the classic Greeks to the famous-day, that is, the Nineteen Fifties. interior of this historic precis, the priority of the "green patches" on Mars became suggested. It additionally stated that those "green patches" looked as though it would substitute with the seasons, enlarging for the time of the summer time months, and inflicting hypothesis that some style of vegetation could desire to exist on Mars. yet that became the Nineteen Fifties. It became a time whilst human beings concept they knew an excellent purchase extra advantageous than they actually did. that they had in simple terms gained worldwide war II and that they could do something they imagined, regardless of if it violated the regulations of Physics. Who desires those pesky regulations besides?

Mars has nothing interesting on it as in materials but it does have polar ice caps. Most of Mars is covered in iron giving it a red color. It also has huge craters and the largest mountain in the entire solar system: MT Olympus. If you fell of MT Olympus, it would take you about ten minutes before you hit the ground!

The most important stuff you'll find on Mars are the Martian Women! Can you believe that red hair and those lips?

Looks like you can find a lot of silica aka sand. Then there seems to be ample supplies of iron oxides. A few meteorites are laying around, too. But they haven't found any gems, yet.

George Bush's brain - maybe - because it sure doesn't seem to be on Earth anywhere.
