La Preciosa Milestones
Steady Progress & Increased Development Production: Ongoing extraction, haulage, and
processing of mineralized development material from La Preciosa was above plan in Q2 2026,
primarily due to Mill Circuit 2 becoming available. This increased throughput was oƯset by
intentional processing of lower-grade development ore during elevated metal prices, that would
have otherwise been stockpiled. Development production increased 59% from Q1 2026,
contributing 100,658 AgEq1 ounces, and consisting of 84,806 silver oz and 182 gold oz.
2026 Drill Program: There are two drills currently turning at La Preciosa, with 6,591 meters of
drilling completed at the end of Q2 as part of the planned 15,000 metres of exploration for 2026.
Drilling has now shifted from infill holes to exploration and step-out holes at high-priority targets at
vein intersections and projections. It is important to note that none of the infill drilling holes
completed to date were included in the mineral reserve update mentioned below. Furthermore,
most of the exploration holes are in areas outside the current resource model.
Consistent Mill Throughput: In Q2 2026, mill throughput remained on plan with 184,293 tonnes
processed from both Avino and La Preciosa. Continued steady mill performance and availability
reflects the impact of targeted upgrades and automation initiatives led by our operations and
maintenance teams over recent years.
Operating Highlights
Primary Silver Revenues: 54% of the Company's Q2 2026 revenues came from the sales of silver
processed from the production material from the Avino Mine and development material from La
Preciosa at an average realized price of $68.90 per silver ounce.
Inaugural Mineral Reserve Estimate at Avino and La Preciosa: On April 16, 2026, Avino
announced the completion of a new Mineral Reserve Estimate and updated Mineral Resource
Estimate which includes La Preciosa, the Avino Mine (consisting of the Elena Tolosa ("ET") deposit,
Guadelupe, and La Potosina). Collectively, the Company's assets host proven and probable
mineral reserves of 27 million tonnes for 127 million silver equivalent ounces at a grade of 145 g/t.
In mineral resources, collectively the Company holds measured and indicated mineral resources
totaling 67.7 million tonnes and 301 million silver equivalent ounces at a grade of 162 g/t, as well
as inferred mineral resources totaling 24.8 million tonnes and 87.6 million silver equivalent
ounces at a grade of 123 g/t.
2026 Drill Program at Avino: Drilling remains ongoing in the same locations as in Q1 as we
continue to understand the nature of the veining. The first drill was focused in the upper area in
the eastern portion of the system. The second drill at Avino was focused on extension drilling in
the footwall breccia area in the upper east portion. During the second quarter, Avino has been
hosting geological consultants that are helping identify key geological features to target areas for
resource expansion.
Health and Safety Performance: For Q2 2026, the Company achieved a Lost Time Incident
Frequency Rate ("LTIFR") of 4.82 per 1,000,000 hours worked. Total reportable lost time incident
rate was 0.10.
Corporate
Normal Course Issuer Bid Approval: Early in the 2nd quarter, Avino announced that the TSX had
accepted the Company's notice of Intention to repurchase for cancellation up to an aggregate of
8,423,566 common shares, or approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding
shares. Avino is in a strong financial position, and at current silver prices and enough free cash
flow generation in 2026 to support the repurchase of common shares, bringing additional value to
shareholders and further underscoring our commitment to delivering strong shareholder returns.
Senior Leadership Appointments: The Company strengthened its senior leadership team with
the appointment of Marc Turcotte as Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, and the
promotion of Peter Latta to Senior Vice President, Technical Services. The June 8, 2026 news
release can be viewed here.
2026 Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2026 totaled $6.5 million, compared to $5.8 million in the
first half of 2025. The increased amount is in line with our capital budget for 2026 and was primarily spent
on mine development and equipment for future production mining operations at La Preciosa.
The earnings should be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements and Management's
Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the corresponding period, which can be viewed on the Company's
website at www.avino.com, or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
