Its a planet with similar composition to ours. I am pretty sure that there is plenty of gold.

I guess if you could produce materials on mars it would be much easier to build and deploy gigant structures into space (lower gravity and escape velocity)

Mining is something that is always mentioned in scifi, but I am not sure how profitable it would be, I guess if propellant can be mined on mars it would be pretty doable.

Performing activities that would be environmental risks on earth would be relatively low risk on mars, due to the fact that it is already a wasteland.

Tourism would be a thing as well which would require many trades of comfort
