ASSAYS AVERAGE 0.73 OZ/TON IN NEW GOLD ZONE EXCLUDING HIGH-
GRADE TARGET

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Avino Silver and Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM; CDNX, ASGMF US OTC Bulletin Board). – The Bralorne project (50% Interest) site Manager, Wayne Murton, P.Eng, has reported to the Company that sampling of the new 70 ft. raise to surface averaged 0.73 ounces/ton gold over an average width of 4.4 feet. This raise on the Peter Zone was driven upwards at 50 degrees as part of the program of test mining and milling targeting a high-grade area of 12 oz/ton found by a surface trench.

The high-grade area where the raise broke through to surface has not yet been sampled and therefore is not included in this reported overall average. The detailed results of the samples taken indicate an improvement in gold content closer to surface.

Test mining will proceed on a block of ore opened up by the raise with the material to be stockpiled on surface for processing when the milling facilities are completed. It is expected that some 10,000 tons of ore will be processed, at a test rate of 150 tons daily.

The following table provides details of the raise sampling program. All assays were completed at Eco-Tech
