Could someone smarter than myself explain what the possible targets for a mining mission would be?

The only ones I can think of would be Luna, Phobos, Deimos and the Asteroid Belt beyond Mars' orbit.

Are these really viable targets? Aside from Luna, they're all pretty far away, or am I missing some obvious asteroids that are known to be within convenient distance of Earth?
