About Avino:
Avino is a silver producer from its wholly owned Avino Mine near Durango, Mexico. The Company’s silver, gold and copper
production remains unhedged. The Company intends to maintain long- term sustainable and profitable mining operations to
reward shareholders and the community alike through our growth at the historic Avino Property and the strategic acquisition
of the adjacent La Preciosa which was finalized in Q1 2022. Early in 2024, the pre-feasibility Study on the Oxide Tailings Project
was completed. This study is a key milestone in our growth trajectory. As part of Avino’s commitment to adopting sustainable
practices, we have been operating a dry stack tailings facility for more than one year now with excellent results. We are
committed to managing all business activities in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost -effective manner, while
contributing to the well- being of the communities in wh ich we operate. We encourage you to connect with us
