AVINO DRILLS 0.75 METRES OF 22.902 G/T AU & 1,609.6 G/T AG

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) is continuing to explore its large Avino property located 80 kilometres north-east of Durango, Mexico.  The results of holes SG-07-01 through SG-07-07 on the San Gonzalo vein system were released in previous news releases (March 12, 26, April 13 and June 11, 2007).  The location of these holes can be viewed on the Company’s website: http://www.avino.com/i/pdf/TOPO_MAP_UTM.pdf.

Hole SG-07-08 missed the ore shoot and encountered only low gold and silver values.  For holes SG-07-09, 10 and 11 only gold results have been received to date.  We will release results when silver and base metal assays are received.

Avino is most pleased to announce significant intersections from holes SG-07-12 and SG-07-13 as follows:

SG-07-12 (Dip 53 total length 175.45 m)

Down hole intersection length 165.65 – 169.45 m (3.80 m) 9.5 g/t gold, 655 g/t silver, 574 ppm copper, 2,872 ppm lead, 2503 ppm zinc.

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.

Avino is now focusing on drilling the San Gonzalo vein system in order to establish a drill indicated resource for the deposit.

This report was prepared by Chris J. Sampson, P. Eng., a qualified person under NI 43-101.

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.
