AVINO MARKS ANOTHER QUARTER OF STRONG PRODUCTION RESULTS;
ANNOUNCES DATE OF Q2 EARNINGS CALL
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM: TSX/NYSE American, GV6: FSE) a long-standing silver producer in Mexico ,
continued strong production momentum in the second quarter with 645,602 silver equivalent ounces. Production in
the first half of 2025 totaled 1.325 million silver equivalent ounces, which positions the Company well within the range
of our original production estimate of 2.5 to 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces for 2025.
PRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS – Q2 2025 (COMPARED TO Q2 2024)
• Silver Equivalent Production Increased 5%: Avino produced 645,602 silver equivalent ounces in Q 2 2025,
representing a 5% increase from Q2 of 2024. This increase was driven by significantly improved mill availability,
with our highest quarterly mill throughput in history. This record throughput was partially offset by lower feed
grades in all three metals (silver, gold and copper), as we moved through a lower grade section of the mine
plan.
• Record Mill Throughput: In Q2 2025, Avino achieved 36% higher mill throughput versus Q2 2024, totalling a
quarterly record of 190,987 tonnes of material. These throughput levels were a result of previous upgrades
and automation enhancements made by our operations team, demonstrating significant improvements in mill
availability.
• Gold Production Increased 17%: Q2 2025 production of 1,774 gold ounces represented a 17% increase
compared to Q 2 2024. This improved production resulted from the increased tonnes processed , alongside
significant improvements in gold recoveries to 74% from 70% in Q2 of 2024.
• Copper Production Increased 12%: Avino produced 1.5 million pounds of copper in Q 2 2025, a 12% increase
compared to Q2 2024.
• Silver Production Decreased 3 %: Silver production for Q 2 2025 was 283,619 ounces, representing a 3%
decrease compared to Q2 2024.

Avino Mine Production Results
“We are very pleased to report another quarter of strong production at Avino. The second quarter of 2025 saw
increased mill availability, which is a direct result of the operational excellence demonstrated by our team during the
quarter, as well as the benefits being realized from the upgrades to our mill facilities and spare parts processes that
were made in previous periods by operations, maintenance and procurement teams,” said David Wolfin, President and
CEO of Avino. “Tonnes milled during the quarter ex ceeded our internal forecasts, primarily due to improved plant
performance and increased operational efficiency. With two strong quarters behind us, we are on track to meet our
2025 production guidance. At La Preciosa, blasting and development activities are progressing steadily as we approach
the Abundancia vein structure . With strong performance at the Avino mine year to date and the continued
advancement at La Preciosa, we remain on track with our transformational growth strategy.”
Balance Sheet Update
Avino had approximately US$37 million in cash at June 30th, and remains debt -free, excluding operating equipment
leases. Our balance sheet continues to strengthen as we execute on our transformational growth strategy.
La Preciosa Update
Blasting and construction of the relatively short 360 metre San Fernando main access decline is underway, and
equipment mobilization has been swift, allowing development to advance on plan. The new jumbo drill is working on
this ramp as it progresses toward intercepting the Gloria and Abundancia veins. Site services have been installed an d
an existing building has been renovated for site personnel. Recent photos showcasing the work at La Preciosa are
available on the Avino website — click here to view them.
Exploration Resource and Reserve Update
The 2025 delineation drilling commenced at the Avino Mine in April with a program consisting of 9 planned holes from
surface. The objective is to test the downdip extension of the Avino vein system below the current lowest mining level,
following the trend of previous drilling reported on September 14, 2023. The Avino deposit remains open at depth, and
earlier results have shown comparable grades and widths to those currently being mined.
A second surface drill was deployed at La Preciosa to confirm prior drill results from previous operators and to improve
the understanding of the grade zonation close to the scheduled mining areas near the ramp . Earlier drill core from
previous operators, was extensively utilized to provide sample data for earlier technical reports, so remaining samples
were limited. To date, three drill holes have been completed and drilling will continue until the end of October. Drilling
information will be utilized in underground mine planning, 3D modelling as well as an update to the Resource estimate
that is due in Q1 2026. In addition, Avino is planning on releasing its first mineral reserve estimate at the same time as
the Company has now met the requirements for a Producing Issuer under the NI 43-101 standards of disclosure for
mineral projects.

Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
All reserve and resource estimates reported by Avino were estimated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43 -101 and the Canadian Institute of
Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) now recognizes estimates of “measured mineral
resources,” “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” and uses new definitions of “proven mineral reserv es” and “probable mineral reserves”
that are substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. However, the CIM Definition Standards differ from the requirements applicable to US
domestic issuers. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resource s,” “inferred mineral resources” ,
“proven mineral reserves”, or “probable mineral reserves” that the Issuer reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, “inferred mineral resources”
are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade are estimated on the basis of limited geologic evidence and sampling. Mineral resources which are
not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Neither TSX nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
