AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES LTD

The Company was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of silver, gold, and copper and the acquisition, exploration, and advancement of mineral properties. The Company’s head office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and the United States, and trades on the TSX, the NYSE-A, and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges. The Company operates the Avino mine (the Avino Mine ) which produces copper, silver and gold at the historic Avino property in the state of Durango, Mexico (the Avino Property ), after declaring commercial production effective July 1, 2015. As of today, the Company continues to produce from the Avino Mine. Also in Durango, the Company also holds a 100% interest in Proyectos Mineros La Preciosa S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation which owns the La Preciosa property in Durango, Mexico ( La Preciosa ), located approximately 20 kms southwest of the Avino Property. Avino’s remaining Mexican properties , as well as its Canadian properties, are all in the exploration stage. In order to determine if a commercially viable mineral deposit exists in any of these properties, further geological work will need to be done, and based upon the results of that work a final evaluation will need to be made to conclude on economic and legal feasibility. The Company is currently focusing on extracting and processing resources at the Avino Property and continuing to advance La Preciosa.
