The program was carried out under the supervision of Chris J. Sampson, P. Eng., a qualified person under NI 43-101.

Sample lengths of the NQ drill core were diamond sawed into halves by mine staff and shipped to Inspectorate Labs in Durango, Mexico, for preparation into pulps and rejects. Pulps were analyzed at Inspectorate Labs in Sparks, Nevada.

Gold and silver were analyzed by fire assay using Aqua Regia Leach and AA finish. Other elements are reported from a 29 element I.C.P. package.

The drill program at San Gonzalo is continuing. Hole SG-07-07 is currently in progress. A second drill from contractor Tecmin Servicios, S.A. de C.V. arrived last week and is currently drilling on the Santiago Vein located approximately one kilometer west of the San Gonzalo Vein.

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd., founded in 1968, has established a long record of mining and exploration. The Company’s focus is the acquisition and aggressive exploration of top silver prospects throughout North America. Avino remains well funded with no debt.
