The wreck was discovered on 15 July 2018 by the South Korean treasure hunting company, Shinil Group, and international experts 1,400 feet (430 m) below the surface. A joint operation by companies from China, Canada and the UK will attempt to retrieve 200 tons of gold worth £100 billion (c. US$133 billion), which they believe to be inside the wreck, in late 2018. They have pledged to give 10% of the gold back to Russia, where a campaign group has demanded the full amount.
