She is not in stealth, so you don't need the glasses to see her. Because of that, she never showed up on my minimap. Don't keep looking through the dots on the minimap trying to find her like I did.
If you look on the minimap you'll see three 'fingers' coming off the main room at the bottom, I found her in the bottom 'finger'

Paulson's Crossbow, Crackling Pauldrons, Mine Worker Cloak, 5,150 XPDescription
<The Gnomecorder crackles with energy. You can hear Lieutenant Paulson on the other end.> Stupid gnome junk... Is ANYBODY there? {name}, are you there? Maybe he's dead. Listen, if you can still hear me, we just got word that a Horde master assassin is in the mines, directing the other assassins. Find her, kill her, report back to me. Paulson, out.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- They Put the Assass in... Never Mind
Ah, the Explorers' League - such a profound group of morons. Not only do we have tauren ghosts up our butts, the Explorers' League has also managed to open up a backdoor to the primary Horde base in Stonetalon, Krom'gar Fortress.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Leave No Man Behind!
Horde monsters! <Corporal Wocard spits.> Look at this place! They've wiped out innocents! Civilians! Listen, <name>, you've got to help us. Go into the Deep Reaches and look for surviving miners. If any are still alive they're probably scared witless! Check in the nooks and crannies of the mine.
