Five of the 10 missing workers from a mine operated by a Canadian company in Mexico have been confirmed among the 10 bodies that were found in unmarked graves last week, Mexican authorities say.

Canadian mining company Vizsla Silver has also confirmed that some of the workers abducted from its project site in Concordia, Mexico, last month have been found dead. The Vancouver-based company reported last month that 10 workers from its Panuco project in Mexico had been kidnapped on Jan. 23.
