A vessel with a nine-person crew and 700 tons of gold ore onboard has gone missing 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.
