Nope.
This corporation/company is very nefarious. You absolutely would not want this company to play the role these documents show them to be playing in this situation.
Edit: I suppose you should get another try.

Helium-3 (He3) a rare particle on Earth but abundant on the Moons lunar surface (He3 is required for a fusion reactant - safe nuclear energy) has an energy value in today's dollars is $5.7 million per kilogram when compared to the value and energy potential of oil. **
Scientists estimate there are about 1 million tons of helium 3 on the moon, enough to power the world for thousands of years.

The point is to get ENOUGH of it. And so far it seems there is only enough of it at "easy" reach at the Moon.
Scientists estimate there are about 1 million tons of helium 3 on the moon, enough to power the world for thousands of years. The He3 is mainly imbedded in an ore called ilmenite.
A space vehicle with a payload bay the size of a space shuttle could bring back enough helium-3 to generate the electricity to satisfy the United States’ needs for a full year.
Particles of hydrogen and helium in the solar wind that strikes the moon become embedded in the rocks and soil. This doesn’t happen on the earth because our atmosphere and our magnetic field shield our planet from these solar particles.
It has been estimated that helium 3 would have a cash value of $5.7 billion a ton in terms of its current energy equivalent to oil at
