AVINO DRILLS 1.50 METRES, 1,511.8 g/t SILVER, 15.77 g/t GOLD AT SAN GONZALO

Avino Silver and Gold Mines Ltd. has added a second core drill to its program at the large Avino property located 80kms north east of Durango, Mexico.

The first drill continues to explore the San Gonzalo zone. It is currently drilling Hole 31 at that zone.

The second drill started at the beginning of the month and has currently completed two holes on the ET zone on the main Avino Vein. This is the zone on the main Avino Vein from which the company mined 1975-2001.

A program of 11 holes are planned to explore the ET zone below the 11½ level where production ceased in Nov 2001.

Avino is pleased to announce results of a further four holes at San Gonzalo (20 through 23). (Locations can be viewed on the Avino website).

SG-07-20 (Bearing 215 Dip 66 Length 247.40m)

This hole is to the north west of the main San Gonzalo structure. It intersected several side veins, some of which contained high gold and silver values but none correlate with the San Gonzalo main vein.

Sample lengths of 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.

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.
