But that is the case at junior nickel explorer Sirius Resources (ASX: SIR) after last week's appointment to its board of industry veteran Terry Grammer.
Grammer was joint winner of the award in 2000 with Tony Rovira for discovering the high-grade Cosmos nickel deposit. He was also one of the driving forces behind the successful mid-tier nickel miner Western Areas.
He's in good company at Sirius, joining managing director Mark Bennett, who took out the award for discovering LionOre's Thunderbox gold deposit and Waterloo nickel deposit, and major shareholder Mark Creasy, who picked it up for Yandal belt gold discoveries.
Sirius was floated off last year to hold and advance the nickel exploration assets of Creasy and Apex Minerals.
It recently began a nickel drilling program at its Lawlers joint venture, where it holds the nickel rights on two joint ventures with Barrick on ground surrounding the Lawlers goldmine.
Later this year, it plans to boost drilling at the Polar Bear project in the Widgiemooltha area, which is prospective for nickel sulphides and gold.
It won't take much in the way of exploration hits to get the share price moving. It closed on Friday at all of 0.7¢ a share.
