Luxury. Technology. Clean Energy. Wealth.
They all start in the same place—beneath the surface.
But behind every diamond, every battery, and every innovation, there’s a story few ever hear—a story of power, risk, and opportunity.
🎙 In this brief trailer, hosts Brooke Bibeault and Ricus Grimbeek introduce Mine to Main Street, a podcast uncovering the raw truth behind the industries shaped by mining, investment, and global supply chains.
We’ve been on the ground—building mines, working alongside artisanal and small-scale miners, and expanding a portfolio of assets that fuels some of the world’s most influential industries.
We’ve seen firsthand how resources move from remote communities to luxury brands, EV factories, and financial markets—who profits, who takes the risks, and who’s pushing for change.

The world’s most coveted creations and its boldest ambitions share an origin: the resources that make them possible.
Before a luxury watch is admired, before a breakthrough…
Mine to Main Street takes you inside that story.
From the origins of mineral wealth to the world’s most coveted industries, we follow the connections between mining, luxury, innovation, geopolitics, and investment. Behind the finished product lies a global network of people, partnerships, and decisions shaping economies—and opening new possibilities.
Hosted by Brooke Bibeault and Ricus Grimbeek, the podcast goes beneath the headlines and beyond the boardroom to explore how value is created, where influence lies, and whose ambitions shape what comes next.
What makes a material strategically indispensable—or an object deeply desirable? How do investment flows, trade alliances, and regulatory shifts change the prospects of a place? How does a discovery become prosperity, and who gets to share in it?
From the mine to the maison. From a community’s ambitions to a country’s industrial future.
At the heart of these connections are people. Communities whose knowledge, livelihoods, and aspirations help shape development. Entrepreneurs building businesses. Investors backing possibilities. Consumers connected to places they may never see.
Community participation, environmental stewardship, and the trust underpinning social licence influence what gets built, how it operates, and the legacy it leaves. Global ambition and local experience meet here—and each shapes the other.
Through candid conversations, we explore the relationships behind everyday essentials, exceptional creations, and the developments redefining our world.
Whether you lead an industry, shape policy, allocate capital, create something coveted, or live where its materials originate, you have a place in this story.
Every origin holds a story. Every decision shapes what comes next.
