From 1985 to 1991, Richardson was a manager in the audit group (mining) at Ernst & Young LLP in Toronto. She then became director of group accounting at Placer Dome Inc, responsible for the financial reporting of global operations and integrating new acquisitions. Placer operated 17 mines across five countries at that time. Since exiting Placer in 2006, Richardson has been providing financial consulting services to several public listed mining companies.
Founded by professionals who believe that there are gold mines yet to be found in Guyana, Golden Shield has full control of three high-grade gold projects - Marudi Mountain, Arakaka and Fish Creek.
