Ten Engineers Kidnapped from Canadian Silver Mine in Concordia, Sinaloa

Ten employees of a silver mine in Concordia, Sinaloa, including engineers and security guards have gone missing since 23 January. Their families claim that they were kidnapped by an armed group.

According to local reporting, around 7:00 a.m., a group of armed men arrived at the La Clementina neighborhood where their employer was providing housing. The victims were forced aboard vehicles and have not been seen since.

The silver mine is leased by the Canadian mining firm Vizsla Silver Corp, who confirmed the kidnapping of their ten workers in a press release on their website yesterday. The company mention that “certain activities” have been suspended at the mine site.

The town of Concordia is 45 kilometers east of Mazatlan, a region that is currently violently contested by the Mayos and Chapitos factions of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Precious-metal mining operations are an attractive target for organized crime: they are asset-rich, geographically fixed, and often operated by foreign firms with weak internal security and senior leadership far removed from local realities. As silver prices sit at historic highs, criminal groups are viewing mine personnel, production, and logistics as leverage points for kidnapping, extortion, and theft.

Further, precious metals also offer dual utility for criminal networks, serving both as a high-value theft target and as an effective vehicle for money laundering.
