Who is Ines Scotland?

Inés Scotland is an Australian businesswoman.

Scotland is the CEO of an ASX listed minerals project development company, Citadel Resource Group, Limited. Citadel has a portfolio of gold and base metals projects in Saudi Arabia, with its operations headquarters located in Jeddah. Citadel is one of only a handful of western mining companies operating in Saudi Arabia, and Scotland is in a unique position as the only one headed by a woman.

In a presentation to the Sydney Mining Club in July 2008, Scotland said that they were determined to build Citadel into the next mid tier mining house on the back of their many projects in Saudi and some potential business development activities.
