The moon is made out of cheese, so I would say that it is owned by Kraft.
We Could Be Living On The Moon In 10 Years Or Less

I think that while treaty prevents ownership, it does not prevent control. Many parts of the US are referred to as being "owned" by our government, but there is no title to those lands. They are simply controlled by the government, under powers enacted by congress, often under the national parks system. The US government controls the greatest land mass of all by controlling most of the state of Nevada.
It is not beyond the realm of comprehension that they have already decided which areas of the Moon can be mined, and which would be forbidden zones. A quick hour spent with youtube videos will immediately suggest to a viewer which areas might be off limits.
