      the
      restatement of beginning deficit from $(297,621) to $(484,613). The

      Even
      when mining is conducted on properties known to contain significant quantities
      of ore deposits it is generally accepted in the mining industry that most
      exploration projects do not result in the discovery of mineable deposits of
      ore
      in a commercially economical manner. There may be limited availability of water,
      which is essential to milling operations, and interruptions may be caused by
      adverse weather conditions. Operations are subject to a variety of existing
      laws
      and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures,
      safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air
      quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls. Mining
      activities are subject to substantial operating hazards, some of which are
      not
      insurable or may not be insured for economic reasons.</font></div>

      an ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors including
      the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity
      to
      infrastructure, as well as mineral prices and government regulations, including
      regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use,
      importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact
      effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination
      of
      these factors may result in a mineral deposit being unprofitable.</font></div>

      The
      Company's ability to generate revenue and profit is expected to occur through
      exploration of its existing properties as well as through acquisitions of
      interests in new properties. Substantial expenditures will be incurred in an
      attempt to establish the economic feasibility of mining operations by
      identifying mineral deposits and establishing ore reserves through drilling
      and
      other techniques, developing metallurgical processes to extract metals from
      ore,
      designing facilities and planning mining operations. The economic feasibility
      of
      a project depends on numerous factors, including the cost of mining and
      production facilities required to extract the desired minerals, the total
      mineral deposits that can be mined using a given facility, the proximity of
      the
      mineral deposits to a user of the minerals, and the market price of the minerals
      at the time of sale. There is no assurance that existing or future exploration
      programs or acquisitions will result in the identification of deposits that
      can
      be mined profitably.</font></div>

      The
      Company's profitability is significantly affected by the costs and results
      of
      its exploration and development programs. As mines have limited lives based
      on
      proven and probable mineral reserves, the Company actively seeks to expand
      its
      mineral reserves, primarily through exploration, development and strategic
      acquisitions. Exploration for minerals is highly speculative in nature, involves
      many risks and is frequently unsuccessful. Among the many uncertainties inherent
      in any gold and silver exploration and development program are the location
      of
      economic ore bodies, the development of appropriate metallurgical processes,
      the
      receipt of necessary governmental permits and the construction of mining and
      processing facilities. Assuming the discovery of an economic deposit, depending
      on the type of mining operation involved, several years may elapse from the
      initial phases of drilling until commercial operations are commenced and, during
      such time, the economic feasibility of production may change. Accordingly,
      the
      Company's exploration and development programs may not result in any new
      economically viable mining operations or yield new mineral reserves to expand
      current mineral reserves.</font></div>

      The
      Company undertakes evaluations of opportunities to acquire additional gold
      and
      silver mining properties. Any resultant acquisitions may be significant in
      size,
      may change the scale of the Company's business, and may expose the Company
      to
      new geographic, political, operating, financial and geological risks. The
      Company's success in its acquisition activities depends on its ability to
      identify suitable acquisition candidates, acquire them on acceptable terms,
      and
      integrate their operations successfully. Any acquisitions would be accompanied
      by risks, such as a significant decline in the price of gold or silver, the
      ore
      body proving to be below expectations, the difficulty of assimilating the
      operations and personnel of any acquired companies, the potential disruption
      of
      the Company's ongoing business, the inability of management to maximize the
      financial and strategic position of the Company through the successful
      integration of acquired assets and businesses, the maintenance of uniform
      standards, controls, procedures and policies, the impairment of relationships
      with customers and contractors as a result of any integration of new management
      personnel and the potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired mining
      properties. In addition, the Company may need additional capital to finance
      an
      acquisition. Historically, the Company has raised funds through equity financing
      and the exercise of options and warrants. However, the market prices for natural
      resources are highly speculative and volatile. Accordingly, instability in
      prices may affect interest in resource properties and the development of and
      production from such properties that may adversely affect the Company's ability
      to raise capital to acquire and explore resource properties. There can be no
      assurance that the Company would be successful in overcoming these risks or
      any
      other problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions.</font></div>

      1968 with the development of the Avino Mine. From 1974 to 2001, the Avino Mine
      produced silver, gold, copper and lead and provided hundreds of jobs for the
      Durango region before closing due to depressed metal prices. Beginning in 2002,
      the Company re-directed its corporate strategy to focus almost entirely on
      silver and began acquiring silver properties in North America. The Company's
      most recent acquisitions, consisting of the Eagle property in Canada's Yukon
      Territory and the Aumax property in British Columbia, have produced positive
      assays for silver through drilling and sampling. The Avino Mine and surrounding
      mineral leases continue to hold silver potential. These properties, along with
      other silver and gold projects, will remain the Company's principal focus for
      the foreseeable future.</font></div>

      mining industry in which the Company is engaged is highly competitive.
      Competitors include well-capitalized mining companies, independent mining
      companies and other companies having financial and other resources far greater
      than those of the Company. The Company competes with other mining companies
      in
      connection with the acquisition of gold, silver and other precious metal
      properties. In general, properties with a higher grade of recoverable mineral
      and/or which are more readily mined afford the owners a competitive advantage
      in
      that the cost of production of the final mineral product is lower. In 2005,
      demand for silver exceeded supply and worldwide demand is expected to increase
      through 2006. This, in part, has fueled the increases in silver prices over
      the
      same period. Thus, a degree of competition exists between those engaged in
      the
      mining industry to acquire the most valuable properties. As a result, the

      properties. </font></div>

      interruptions or delays in our operations. As a result, the preferable time
      for
      activities in these regions is the spring and summer when costs are more
      reasonable and access to the properties is easier. In the summer months,
      however, if the weather has been unusually hot and dry, access to the Company's
      properties may be limited as a result of access restrictions being imposed
      to

      property has produced positive assays for silver since exploration first
      occurred there in 1964. The initial drill program, consisting of 29 holes,
      encountered assays as high as 6,900 grams per tonne of silver over 1.2 metres
      in
      hole #23 and 1,708 grams per tonne of silver over 2.1 metres in hole JB1.
      Follow-up drilling in 1978, designed to expand on the discoveries of hole #23,
      encountered 18.7 metres of mineralization with values ranging from 11 to 132
      grams per tonne of silver. This discovery became known as the Eagle vein. The
      Eagle property is part of the historic Keno Hill mining camp. The Keno Hill
      mining camp has historically been one of Canada's most productive for silver,
      lead and zinc. Between 1920 and 1988, the total reported production was
      4,787,423 tonnes with recovered grades of 1.3 kilograms per tonne of silver,
      5.6% lead and 3.1% zinc. Subsequent exploration in the district has discovered
      additional mineral deposits which may become productive. </font></div>

      Cretaceous-Tertiary granitic Bendor Intrusions as the Bralorne/Pioneer mines.
      These mines are the largest past producers in the Canadian Cordillera (4.1
      million ounces). The Bendor Intrusions are a postulated source for the gold
      mineralization at Bralorne, which is thought to be localized by a northwest
      to
      north flexure in the Cadwallader structure. A similar flexure is present in
      the

      on the property are mineralized with gold and silver and have received
      considerable past work, including at least four adits.</font></div>

      for
      use at the mill is primarily obtained from: (i) wells; (ii) old underground
      workings; and (iii) earth dams. In prior years, the water supply has been
      insufficient to increase the capacity of the mill. In 1989, Cia Minera
      constructed a dam in hope of storing water for use in the dry season. The dam
      has a capacity of 1,000,000 cubic meters. Cia Minera had entered into an
      agreement with the Federal Government of Mexico for the repair and improvement
      of a government dam located approximately five and one-half kilometers from
      the
      mine. The contract provides that the Government and Cia Minera will each
      contribute 50% of the cost of repairing the dam and raising the height by six
      meters and to construct a new spillway. The work was substantially completed
      during 1989, and Cia Minera installed a pipeline system allowing water to flow
      from the Government dam to the mill. The contract provides that Cia Minera
      will
      share the use of the Government dam with local farmers. The local farmers have
      priority for the use of a specific volume of the water and the balance is
      available for use by the mine. The water can be transmitted to the mine by
      means
      of five kilometers of pipe which has been installed by Cia Minera. In early
      1996, Cia Minera also drilled a well 400 meters in depth on a property owned
      by
      Cia Minera, ten kilometers from the mill site. A pipeline has been constructed,
      and Cia Minera has sufficient water for its own needs. Further, from 1995 to
      1998, Mexico experienced a drought. While the drought adversely affected
      operations in late 1995 until April 1996, Cia Minera believes that the new
      well
      will adequately meet its water requirements. In addition, Cia Minera utilizes
      water conservation practices, such as recirculation of water and capturing
      rain
      water in earth dams.</font></div>

      Company's principal business activities are the exploration and development
      of
      mineral properties. The Company is in the process of exploring and developing
      its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether its mineral properties
      contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability
      of
      amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of
      economically recoverable ore reserves in its mineral properties, the ability
      of
      the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development,
      confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims and
      leases and future profitable production or sufficient proceeds from the
      disposition of its mineral properties. The Company is continually investigating
      new exploration opportunities, and mineral exploration is carried out on
      properties identified by management of the Company as having favorable
      exploration potential. Interests in such properties are acquired in various
      ways. In some cases, the Company, through its own efforts, stakes mineral claims
      or acquires exploration permits. In other cases the Company acquires an interest
      in mineral properties from third parties. An acquisition from a third party
      is
      typically made by way of an option agreement, which requires the Company to
      make
      specific option payments and to incur a specified amount of exploration costs
      on
      the property. Once the Company has incurred the specified exploration
      expenditures, the parties will enter into a joint venture requiring each party
      to contribute towards future exploration and development costs, based on its
      percentage interest in the property, or suffer dilution of its interest. The
      Company advances its projects to varying degrees by prospecting, mapping,
      geophysics and drilling. Once a property is determined to have limited
      exploration potential, the property is abandoned or sold. In cases where
      exploration work on the property reaches a stage where the expense and risk
      of
      further exploration and development are too high, the Company may seek a third
      party to earn an interest by furthering development. Optioning a property to
      a
      third party allows the Company to retain an interest in further exploration
      and
      development while limiting its obligation to commit a large amount of capital
      to
      any one project. The mineral exploration business is high risk and most
      exploration projects will not become mines.</font></div>

      497
      tons of silver, three tons of gold, and 11,000 tons of copper. Depressed silver
      prices during the period 2000-2001 led to the suspension of mine operations
      at

      impairment, whereas US GAAP requires that such costs be expensed in the period
      incurred. Canadian GAAP also requires that investments available for sale be
      recorded at the lower of cost and market with long-term investments in
      marketable securities being written down to market when impairment is considered
      other than temporary, in which case the written down value becomes the new
      cost
      base. US GAAP requires investments available for sale to be recorded at market
      and unrealized holding gains or losses to be charged to comprehensive income
      or
      loss. See. Note 17 to the financial statements which sets out a reconciliation
      between Canadian and US GAAP.</font></div>

      uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of
      activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied

      metals; the results of exploration and development drilling and related
      activities; economic conditions in the countries and provinces in which we
      carry
      on business, especially economic slowdown; actions by governmental authorities
      including increases in taxes, changes in environmental and other regulations,
      and renegotiations of contracts; political uncertainty, including actions by
      insurgent groups or other conflict; the negotiation and closing of material
      contracts; and the other factors discussed in Item 3 Key Information - "Risk
      Factors", and in other documents that we file with the SEC. The impact of any
      one factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with
      certainty as such factors are interdependent upon other factors; our course
      of
      action would depend upon our assessment of the future considering all
      information then available. In that regard, any statements as to future
      production levels; capital expenditures; the allocation of capital expenditures
      to exploration and development activities; sources of funding of our capital
      program; drilling; expenditures and allowances relating to environmental
      matters; dates by which certain areas will be developed or will come on-stream;
      expected finding and development costs; future production rates; ultimate
      recoverability of reserves; dates by which transactions are expected to close;
      cash flows; uses of cash flows; collectability of receivables; availability
      of
      trade credit; expected operating costs; expenditures and allowances relating
      to

      board
      of directors is currently comprised of five directors. The size and experience
      of the board is important for providing the Company with effective governance
      in
      the mining industry. The board's mandate and responsibilities can be effectively
      and efficiently administered at its current size. The chairman of the board
      is
      not a member of management. The board has functioned, and is of the view that
      it
      can continue to function, independently of management as required. At the Annual
      General Meeting, held on July 12, 2006, the shareholders elected Messrs.
      Andrews, Baybak, Robertson, Wolfin and Wolfin as directors and reduced the
      number of directors from six to five.</font></div>

      management and free from any interest and any business or other relationship
      which could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the director's
      ability to act with a view to the best interest of the Company, other than

      role
      of the board is to oversee the conduct of the Company's business, including
      the
      supervision of management, and determining the Company's strategy. Management
      is
      responsible for the Company's day to day operations, including proposing its
      strategic direction and presenting budgets and business plans to the board
      of
      directors for consideration and approval. The strategic plan takes into account,
      among other things, the opportunities and risks of the Company's business.
      Management provides the board with periodic assessments as to those risks and
      the implementation of the Company's systems to manage those risks. The board
      reviews the personnel needs of the Company from time to time, having particular
      regard to succession issues relating to senior management. Management is
      responsible for the training and development of personnel. The board assesses
      how effectively the Company communicates with shareholders, but has not adopted
      a formal communications policy. Through the audit committee, and in conjunction
      with its auditors, the board assesses the adequacy of the Company's internal
      control and management information systems. The board looks to management to
      keep it informed of all significant developments relating to or effecting the
      Company's operations. Major financings, acquisitions, dispositions and
      investments are subject to board approval. A formal mandate for the board of
      directors and the chief executive officer has not been considered necessary
      since the relative allocation of responsibility is well understood by both
      management and the board. The board meets as required. The board and committees
      may take action at these meetings or at a meeting by conference call or by
      written consent. </font></div>

      Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment
      by
      an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust
      or
      joint venture (each an "entity") that is not a "Canadian" as defined in the
      Investment Act (a "non-Canadian"), unless after review, the Director of
      Investments appointed by the minister responsible for the Investment Act is
      satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An
      investment in the common shares by a non-Canadian other than a "WTO Investor"
      (as that term is defined by the Investment Act, and which term includes entities
      which are nationals of or are controlled by nationals of member states of the
      World Trade Organization) when the Company was not controlled by a WTO Investor,
      would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire
      control of the Company and the value of the assets of the Company, as determined
      in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Act, equals
      or exceeds $5 million for direct acquisitions and over $50 million for indirect
      acquisitions, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on
      the
      grounds that the investment related to Canada's cultural heritage or national
      identity, regardless of the value of the assets of the Company. An investment
      in
      the common shares by a WTO Investor, or by a non-Canadian when the Company
      was
      controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act
      if it
      was an investment to acquire control of the Company and the value of the assets
      of the Company, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated
      under the Investment Act, was not less than a specified amount, which for 2004
      is any amount in excess of $137 million. A non-Canadian would acquire control
      of
      the Company for the purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired
      a majority of the common shares. The acquisition of one third or more, but
      less
      than a majority of the common shares, would be presumed to be an acquisition
      of
      control of the Company unless it could be established that, on the acquisition,
      the Company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership
      of
      the common shares.</font></div>

      shareholder may make a section 1295 election with respect to a PFIC for any

      elections and filing of protective statements. Once a section 1295 election
      is
      made it remains in effect, although not applicable, during those years that
      the
      Company is not a PFIC. Therefore, if the Company re-qualifies as a PFIC, the
      section 1295 election previously made is still valid and the shareholder is
      required to satisfy the requirements of that election. Once a shareholder makes
      a section 1295 election, the shareholder may revoke the election only with

      qualifies as a pedigreed QEF with respect to the shareholder. If a QEF is an
      unpedigreed QEF with respect to the shareholder, the shareholder is subject
      to

      shareholder making the section 1295 election must make the election on or before
      the due date, as extended, for filing the shareholder's income tax return for
      the first taxable year to which the election will apply. A shareholder must
      make
      a section 1295 election by completing Form 8621, attaching said Form to its
      federal income tax return, and reflecting in the Form the information provided
      in the PFIC Annual Information Statement, or if the shareholder calculated
      the
      financial information, a statement to that effect. The PFIC Annual Information
      Statement must include the shareholder's pro-rata shares of the ordinary
      earnings and net capital gain of the PFIC for the PFIC's taxable year or
      information that will enable the shareholder to calculate its pro-rata shares.
      In addition, the PFIC Annual Information Statement must contain information
      about distributions to shareholders and a statement that the PFIC will permit
      the shareholder to inspect and copy its permanent books of account, records,
      and
      other documents of the PFIC necessary to determine that the ordinary earnings
      and net capital gain of the PFIC have been calculated according to federal
      income tax accounting principles. A shareholder may also obtain the books,
      records and other documents of the foreign corporation necessary for the
      shareholder to determine the correct earnings and profits and net capital gain
      of the PFIC according to federal income tax principles and calculate the
      shareholder's pro-rata shares of the PFIC's ordinary earnings and net capital
      gain. In that case, the PFIC must include a statement in its PFIC Annual
      Information Statement that it has permitted the shareholder to examine the
      PFIC's books of account, records, and other documents necessary for the
      shareholder to calculate the amounts of ordinary earnings and net capital gain.
      A shareholder that makes a Section 1295 election with respect to a PFIC held
      directly or indirectly for each taxable year to which the Section 1295 election
      applies must comply with the foregoing submissions.</font></div>

      the Company's stock is "marketable" under section 1296(e), a United States

      shareholder who elects under section 1296 to mark the marketable stock of a
      PFIC
      includes in income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
      fair
      market value of the PFIC stock as of the close of the taxable year over the
      shareholder's adjusted basis in such stock. A shareholder is also generally
      allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the PFIC
      stock over the fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. Deductions
      under this rule, however, are allowable only to the extent of any net mark
      to
      market gains with respect to the stock included by the shareholder for prior
      taxable years. While the interest charge regime under the PFIC rules generally
      does not apply to distributions from and dispositions of stock of a PFIC where
      the United States Investor has marked to market, coordination rules for limited
      application will apply in the case of a United States Investor that marks to

      obligations, which in the mining industry are categorized as &#8220;site restoration
      costs&#8221;, in the year in which such liability is incurred and can be estimated.
      Upon recognition of an asset retirement obligation, the capitalized cost of
      the
      mineral properties interest is increased by the same amount as the liability.
      In
      periods subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement obligation
      is
      adjusted for both the passage of time and revisions to the original estimates.
      If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the
      liability, a gain or loss on the settlement is recognized. The Company evaluated
      its site restoration costs to be $nil as at January 31, 2006 (2005 -
      $nil).</font></div>

      Company continues to account for its 49% investment in Cia Minera using the
      equity method. Prior to fiscal 2006, the Company had determined that it did
      not
      have a commitment or obligation towards Cia Minera and accordingly did not
      recorded its equity interest in the losses of Cia Minera. During fiscal 2006
      the
      Company determined that it has an intended commitment towards Cia Minera.
      Accordingly, it has commenced to recognize in operations its equity interest
      in
      the previously unrecorded losses of Cia Minera, with the equity interest in
      the
      losses first being applied towards prior period advances and investments in
      Cia
      Minera which were previously charged to operations. In fiscal 2006, Avino has
      recognized into operations its interest in previously unrecorded equity losses
      of Cia Minera in the amount $342,596.</font></div>
