Three of the 10 employees of a Canadian mining company who were kidnapped two weeks ago in Mexico's violence-plagued Sinaloa state have been found dead, Mexico's Mining Chamber said Monday.

The workers, all Mexicans according to local media, were kidnapped on January 23 from a silver mining project belonging to the Vancouver-based company Vizsla Silver in the south of Sinaloa.
