"Authorities in Mexico on Friday announced that they have discovered bodies and remains believed to belong to 10 workers who went missing from a gold and silver mine in northern Sinaloa state last month. The Sinaloa state prosecutor's office said the remains were found in the community of El Verde, in the municipality of Concordia, where the mine is located."
"On January 28, Vancouver-based mining company Vizsla Silver reported the kidnapping of 10 people. It said it informed authorities, and its teams were taking steps to search for the missing workers. Security Minister Omar Garcia confirmed that the area where the miners went missing is under the control of the Chapitos, a faction of the Sinaloa cartel led by the sons of ex-Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman."
