On August 31, 1995, the Company together with Bralorne-Pioneer (collectively the “Issuers”) completed a joint offering of 2,000 Mortgage Bond units.

The debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity date. The debentures were secured by a first charge over the Issuers’ interest in the Bralorne project. The debentures are joint and several obligations of the Issuers, with recourse against Avino Limited to Avino’s interest in the Bralorne project.

During the period, the Company transferred its interest in the Bralorne project and other assets of the related joint venture to Bralorne-Pioneer Gold mines Ltd, in a non-cash transaction.
