This is news, Vincenzo, NEWS!
there was a rumor some time back of some kind of helium on the moon
thus the Chinese interest

The current table of elements gives a fairly realistic picture of the possible minerals that might be found based on what we know about stability and atomic combinations.
What might be found could be deposits of known minerals which are purified or concentrated in ways not common to Earth.
In physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates.
We might find a pocket of lead gas or solid oxygen. Venus might have naturally occurring liquid gold or barium gas pockets.
I highly doubt unobtanium, adamantium or vibranium exists.
I do believe its possible we might find compounds of known elements in uncommon combinations if we ever explore dead star remnants or bodies formed in nova, supernova and hypernova reactions. It might be possible to find gas and liquid uncommon combinations if we ever explore nebulas or other dust clouds in space.
Heavy water exists on this planet right now. We might find other such 'heavy' liquids on planets/celestial bodies.

Theory of Minerals at High and Ultrahigh Pressures : Structure, Properties, Dynamics, and Phase Transitions
The interest in minerals at extreme conditions is natural: most of the Earth’s interior exists at high pressures (up to 364 GPa) and temperatures (up to ~6000 K). Studying the behaviour, properties, and structure of Earth-forming materials at such conditions...

Are There Undiscovered Elements Elsewhere In The Universe?
Due to how vast the universe is, is it possible to find an element that is not on the periodic table? This question was originally answered on Quora by Steve Harris.

New mineral classification system captures Earth’s complex past
Could a new classification system that accounts for minerals’ distinct journeys help us better understand mineralogy as a process of universal and planetary evolution?
