Mexican authorities say they’ve found what appears to the body of one of the 10 kidnapped workers of a Canadian-based silver mining company.

The workers went missing on Jan. 23 but no reason has been given for why the group was kidnapped. They were working for Vancouver-based Vizsla at a silver mine in Concordia, Mexico, when they disappeared.
