In 2015 she was directly responsible for the acquisition of South American Ferro Metals Limited (the owner of an iron ore project in Minas Gerais, Brazil) from Deutsche Bank. She was appointed as Executive Director and was responsible for expanding production by 100 % from 1.5 m tonnes to 3 m tonnes per annum and significantly reducing operating costs.
