Phoumindr, from Fairfield, could face life behind bars if she's convicted of the supply of more than a large commercial quantity of drugs.
Her case was adjourned in Tamworth Local Court on Wednesday while the police prosecutor compiles more evidence.
"So Your Honour knows, we are putting the brief together and we can try to get it by today," Sergeant Rob Baillie said.
Police have charged Phoumindr with the indictable supply of a prohibited drug, the supply of a commercial quantity of prohibited drugs, the supply of a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug, knowingly deal with the proceeds of crime and participation in a criminal group that's contributing to criminal activity.
Phoumindr was arrested as part of Strike Force Radius investigations into Tamworth's 'ice castle' at a Petra Avenue housing commission unit. She is yet to enter a plea.
Arrests have been made as far as Dubbo, the Central Coast, Tamworth, and Sydney, where Phoumindr was found by police.
The brief of evidence in her case was due to be served at the end of the month as ordered in Fairfield Local Court on the last occasion.
