Kerry HarmanisHarmanis was the founder and executive director of Jubilee Mines, a small cap company he helped build into a successful nickel producer.
Jubilee Mines, worth about $20m when it discovered the Cosmos nickel deposit in WA, was sold to Swiss mining heavyweight Xstrata for $3bn in 2007.
That sale netted him and fellow mining stalwart Terry Streeter (amongst others) a hefty payday.
Harmanis is now invested in a new crop of juniors.
In May, he snapped up a 5 per cent stake in surging nickel explorer Centaurus Metals (ASX:CTM) which had just completed the acquisition of the advanced, high-grade Jaguar nickel sulphide project from global mining giant Vale.
Besides Centaurus, Harmanis also had substantial stakes in a number of other small cap explorers such as Talisman Mining (ASX:TLM), Gateway Mining (ASX:GML) and Kin Mining (ASX:KIN).
Gateway managing director Peter Langworthy was also at Jubilee, where he played a pivotal role in delineating the company-making Cosmos resource.
