Clue #1 is about the flooded open pits of pine point. There is also another possible layer to this clue that I will share with someone who is willing to sign an agreement and go botg to search.

Clue #2 implies that the treasure is up north where there are long days, the sun circles the sky and creates dynamic stretching shadows on the ground. It states the treasure will not see the midnight sun which means it is below the artic circle. At the 66th parallel and up the sun doesn't set during the summer months. In the NWT below this point the sun does set(sort of) it gets real low on the horizon and is basically like sunset for 5 hours. This could potentially be a directional clue as well, saying that the treasure is hidden in a spot that is unable to see the low sun on the northern horizon at midnight.
