True North Mining documents its two-vessel offshore placer-gold operation in Norton Sound off Nome, Alaska.

Why it surfaced

This is an unusually concrete industrial site: it describes the M/V Nikola and M/V Stryker in precise detail, explains the six-month operating season, and includes 54 seconds of unedited footage showing an excavator working the seafloor. The result feels less like a brochure than a field report from a difficult, highly specific job.
