I was not able to find any record of a municipal flag, meaning it is likely Cananea does not have a flag.

According to https://elmineral.com.mx/ver_anterior.php?artid=73990, the coat of arms of Cananea was adopted on 10 June 1977 during the administration of Municipal President Héctor Lavander Léon. It was designed by a teacher at the secondary school "Mártires de 1906", Roberto Cota Navarro. Following is its description:
The colors the coat of arms carries are mostly ornamental; the clear blue and yellow lightly tinted red represent the stations most defined in the region, winter and summer. The green-blue is the pristine metal of La Colorada, El Tajo, and Campo Frío. The copper tone is like a metal extracted and processed; the orange or yellow field carries the head of a Hertford cattle, the Ejido, an oak branch, and a deer which symbolize agricultural life and the flora and fauna. As a bell to the coat of arms appears the pick and shovel, practical instruments of the miner, prospector, and small-scale miner; cooperatives, social security, and further benefits which are conquests of the actual worker. The torch, always symbolic of 1906, identifies its symbolism to the Martyrs and the legend "Cananea, ciudad del Cobre" [Cananea, city of Copper].
