      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 -

      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>

      including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company&#8217;s stock
      options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
      options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
      affect the fair value estimate, in management&#8217;s opinion, the existing models do
      not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its

      open-pit, a historical two million tonne with assays of 88 g/t silver and 0.48
      g/t gold. A scoping review earlier this year indicated a profit potential for
      reprocessing. There is also a further historical 3 Mt of sulphide tailings
      from
      the underground mine. The Avino Mine was closed in 2001 owing to low metal
      prices and smelter availability.</font></div>

      and administrative expenses totaled $455,747 for Q4-2006 compared with $146,899
      for Q4-2005, an increase of $308,848. In Q4-2006 there was a stock-based
      compensation expense of $289,606 charged to operations compared to $20,384
      in
      Q4-2005, an increase of $269,222. When the stock-based compensation expense
      is
      removed from both periods the increase in operating and administrative expenses
      for Q4-2006 is $39,626. This increase was primarily a result of increases of
      $30,282 in shareholder and investor relations, $20,411 in professional fees
      and
      $4,034 in travel and entertainment. Offsetting these increases was a decrease
      of
      $10,376 in salaries and benefits.</font></div>

      fees were higher in Q4-2006 due to legal fees associated with completing SEC
      form 20-F filing requirements and an increase in audit fees due to Cia Minera
      activities. Shareholder and investor relations costs were higher due to
      increased efforts in promoting company awareness and private placement
      investment opportunities. As well, the Company had incurred expenses regarding
      the investor&#8217;s relations agreement with John Mullen and Partners whereby there
      were no such agreements in Q4-2005. Travel and entertainment expenses increased
      due to Cia Minera business taking place in Mexico. Office and miscellaneous
      costs were significantly lower in Q4-2006 due to fewer consulting services
      being
      provided to the Company compared to Q4-2005.</font></div>

      as
      discussed above accounted for $308,848 of the increase. In addition, there
      were
      write-downs of $217,000 in marketable securities and $103,242 on the Eagle
      property combined with the Company&#8217;s portion of equity loss in Cia Minera of
      $342,596. All three of these items were not experienced in Q4-2005. Because
      of
      lower costs to maintain the Cia Minera property, due diligence costs actually
      went from $126,863 in Q4-2005 to $113,624 in Q4-2006, a decrease of $13,239.

      shareholder awareness. Stock-based compensation most notably impacts
      Q1-April&#160;30, 2005 ($486,100) followed by Q4-January 31, 2006 ($289,606) and
      to a lesser degree it effects Q3-October 31, 2005 ($53,400), Q4-January 31,
      2005
      ($20,384), Q2-July 31, 2004 ($30,578), and Q1-April 30, 2004 ($30,578). When
      stock-based compensation is excluded from the loss calculation, there is a
      clearer trend of losses gradually increasing. The loss for Q4-January 31, 2006
      takes a dramatic increase from the prior seven quarterly periods due to other
      expense items not experienced in the other quarters such as write-downs of
      marketable securities and a mineral property and the recording of the Company&#8217;s
      equity loss in Cia Minera.</font></div>
