Canadian Mining Workers Found Dead in Mexico After Abduction
Vizsla Silver has reported that 10 workers abducted from its project site in Concordia, Mexico, have been found dead. Mexican authorities have discovered clandestine graves in the area containing remains that match the description of some of the missing miners. The area where the abductions occurred is known to be controlled by the Chapitos, a faction of the Sinaloa cartel, and some families had previously reported receiving threats from organized crime groups. The mine has been closed since the incident, and over 1,000 troops have been deployed to the region, with four suspects arrested so far.
