CP NewsAlert: B.C. firm says some workers found dead after abduction from Mexico mine

By Canadian Press on February 9, 2026.

VANCOUVER — A Vancouver-based firm which operates a mine site in Mexico where 10 workers were abducted last month says it has been told by a number of families that their relatives have been found dead.

The statement posted on the website of Vizsla Silver Corp. says it is waiting for confirmation from Mexican authorities and will provide further updates as appropriate.

The company does not say how many of its abducted employees have been found dead after they were taken from the site in Concordia, Mexico.

Vizsla president Michael Konnert says the company is “devastated by this outcome and the tragic loss of life.”

He says the focus remains on the safe recovery of those who remain missing and supporting all of the affected families.

Vizsla has previously said the abduction happened at its Panuco project site, a gold and silver mining operation in the state of Sinaloa.

More coming.
