Vancouver-based Vizsla Silver has confirmed that nine of ‌its 10 workers abducted in Concordia, in the ​Mexican state of Sinaloa, ​in late January have been found dead.

“Nine colleagues have now been found deceased,” the company said in a news release. It added that the company “remains in close contact with the family of one colleague who remains missing and continues to support the authorities in their ongoing investigation.”

The workers were kidnapped on Jan. 23. Ten bodies were found in February in Concordia, about 50 kilometres east of Mazatlán. At the time, the Mexican attorney general’s ​office said five of the workers had been identified.

Two more of the workers ⁠were later confirmed dead, while three remained missing.
