Join Kevin Dwyer, a seasoned stock trader, and Robynne Eaton, an entrepreneurial filmmaker, in 'The Mine$tockers' as they embark on a thrilling international quest. Venturing into rugged and often perilous mining territories, they investigate publicly traded mining companies, from gold to base metals, seeking profitable investments and making critical investment decisions.
Their journey digs deep into the lives of local communities and complex relationships between mining operations, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous peoples. With insights from geologists, experts, and Indigenous partners, Kevin and Robynne evaluate each company's environmental and social governance, revealing the intricate balance of industry standards and ethical practices.
Travel alongside them in diverse modes, from RVs to seaplanes, as they uncover the hidden stories and histories of the mining world, offering a unique perspective on the challenges and beauties of the global mining landscape.
But the adventure doesn't stop with watching - viewers can dive into the action themselves with the Mine$tockers Fantasy Trading Pool. This immersive experience allows you to create your own trading portfolio with $100,000 in fantasy bucks and compete against the Mine$tockers throughout the season. The stakes are high: half of the growing cash prize pool goes to the top-performing trader, while the other half is earmarked for a charity of the Mine$tockers' choice. However, if the Mine$tockers themselves clinch the top spot on the scoreboard at season's end, the entire prize pot will be donated to charity. It's not just about watching investments unfold - it's about testing your own trading mettle in this high-stakes, real-time challenge.

Former Bay Street trader, Kevin Dwyer, has transitioned from his role as an over-the-counter stock trader in the resource sector to a private investor and adventurer. He now visits mining properties to gain firsthand insights.
