Mining the moon

Fox News reports that companies are lining up to mine the polar regions of the moon for resources.  They are hoping to find a source of natural tritium H3 which would be useful in nuclear fusion reactors.  They will also be searching for water and ammonia.  It would be helpful information for a future moon base if they can find fuel sources for a hydrogen fuel cell.  Either ammonia or water could be used as a fuel source.
