Yet Sirius’s Woodsmith mine is understood to have been on the radar of Anglo executives for as long as a year and a half. “We have been . . . keeping an eye on this project for some time,” Stephen Pearce, chief financial officer, said yesterday. He joined Anglo in 2016 from Fortescue Metals, an iron ore miner based in his native Australia, where he had served as an executive director since 2010. There, he overlapped with the tenure of Russell Scrimshaw, who has served as Sirius’s chairman since late 2011. Mr Fraser, who grew up and began his career in Australia, used to work closely with Fortescue as an investment banker at Citi.
