    Default Ship with 700 tons of gold ore disappears

    Ship with 700 tons of gold ore disappears off Russia

    MOSCOW – A vessel with a nine-person crew and 700 tons of gold ore onboard has disappeared in stormy seas off Russia's Pacific Coast.

    The ship sent a distress call on Sunday as it was sailing from the coastal town of Neran to Feklistov Island in the Sea of Okhotsk.

    The vessel, hired by mining company Polymetal, was carrying 700 tons of gold ore from one deposit to another where it was to be processed. Gold ore is the material from which gold is extracted and contains only a small percentage of the precious metal.

    Polymetal's spokesman on Monday would not estimate the value of the cargo.

    The company said it has shipped ore via that route before, and there was nothing unusual in shipping it by the sea.

    Ore.
    In America today there remains two factions.
    The Federalist and the Anti-Federalist.
    Neither of the two dominating political parties belong to the latter.
    You can't be one and the other..

    Yup. Probably never be worth recovering.

    Misleading title is misleading.
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    Yes but at the current price per ounce that's over 191 million dollars. Could be worth renting a rather large ship with some salvage equipment.

    If you found ore with that high concentration of gold you'd be the luckiest man alive.

    0.5 ounces per ton is already considered a good yield. Most mines operate at just a few grams of gold per ton of ore!
