Makor Resources Appoints Brooke Bibeault as New CEO

Makor Resources has announced the appointment of Brooke Bibeault as Chief Executive Officer. She takes over from Ricus Grimbeek, the founder of the company, who will now serve as Chair of the Board. This leadership change aims to align the company with evolving industry demands.

Grimbeek emphasizes the critical role of artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM) in meeting the global demand for minerals essential to a clean economy. The ASM sector employs 45 million people globally, yet faces significant health, social, and environmental risks.

Bibeault's appointment brings a wealth of experience from various sectors. Her background includes roles in marketing, community development, and advisory positions in luxury and media sectors. She aims to leverage this expertise to enhance Makor's mission of integrating ASM mines into the mainstream market.

Using blockchain technology, Makor Resources traces material from the source to final product, ensuring transparency in the mining supply chain. This approach connects consumers, manufacturers, and miners, promising sustainable development and economic benefits for mineral-producing countries.

Grimbeek praised Bibeault's unique experience in creating consumer demand and bridging communities. Her new role is expected to synergize Makor's technical expertise with innovative strategies.
