Ten Engineers Kidnapped from Canadian Silver Mine in Concordia, Sinaloa

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat



Ten Mexican 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.

  1. As Jessie Ventura says, life is much easier and better in Mexico, which proves his insanity.

    1. Jessie Ventura, fomerly a SEAL, a Mongol MC member and a governor of the State of Montana IS insane, but the trumpanzee community can't make a fool out of him...
      It is a shame that soo many rational republicans with religious values volunteer so easy to kiss the shoes of their favorite god-mini-lord,so ready to fall on their sword for his ass that doesn't give a fuck about them or anybody else.

  9. Hi 👋 borderlandbeat, have you guys seen the recent video from zacatecas where it a cartel is supposed to be fighting a police force from zacatecas,and it looks to me that the cartel hitman got struck by a missil , they caim that it was a home made granede dropped by a dron , but fiven the magnitude of the explossion it lloks to me that maybe a usa 🇺🇸 trump dron fired a missile to the cartel members.

  10. Mexico's problem is lack of education, social security, decentralized government and many other things , the cartels are a really nasty consequence of all of that. And no it's not just the US fault as many people try to pivot to. Mexicans themselves must change these things , it is such a beautiful country with amazing and wonderful, generous people ,amazing food, i really wish some day it becomes a better place to live in . Greetings from Croatia, from your dear El Croata.

  15. Amazing. A whole thread, and not a single person asked why they were kidnapping miners, not one commenter was even curious about what it meant, why Silver mines are important beyond the basics described in the article, and nobody had a single thing to say. Cheers though El Huaso. The real war in Mexico since Calderon hasn't really been about drugs, its been a free for all for the wealth in the ground.

  17. Are all the wallets and IDs that were located on a dirt road in the area of the 10 missing? Articles in Sinaloa have only briefly mentioned it and that some were former workers of CFE.
