About Mining Minds

Welcome to The Face—where the work happens, the people make the difference, and mining's story begins. Mining Minds, The Voice Inside the Industry, is rooted in one of the world's largest gold-producing districts. Hosted by miners Grover and Dino, the podcast brings you honest conversations with the people who move mining—from the dig face to industry leadership, education, and the communities that support us. Through shared experiences, we explore mining careers, culture, safety, leadership, and life beyond the job. At the heart of every conversation is the human element: the individuals, families, and relationships that shape our industry. We connect those stories to mining's role in everyday life and the responsibility we share to protect people, care for the environment, and prepare the next generation. Listen here, watch Mining Minds on YouTube, and join the conversation on LinkedIn. Visit www.miningmindsllc.com to explore our podcast, community, and consulting work.
