Nine of 10 workers abducted in January from a Canadian-run mine in Mexico’s Sinaloa state have been confirmed dead, according to the Vancouver-based mining company that owns the operation.
Vizsla Silver Corp. said the investigation into the whereabouts of the still-missing tenth employee is ongoing, and the company is “in close contact” with the worker’s family.
