<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Avino Silver &amp; Gold Mines
Ltd., which we refer to as the "Company", was incorporated by Memorandum of
Association under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on May 15, 1969,
and on August 22, 1969, by virtue of an amalgamation with Ace Mining Company
Ltd., became a public company whose common shares are registered under the
United States <I>Securities Exchange Act of 1934</I>, as amended, and changed
its name to Avino Mines &amp; Resources Limited. On April 12, 1995, the Company
changed its corporate name to International Avino Mines Ltd. and affected a
reverse stock split of one common share for every five common shares
outstanding. On August 29, 1997, the Company changed its corporate name to Avino
Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd. to better reflect the business of the Company of
exploring for and mining silver and gold. Our principal executive office is
located at Suite 400, 455 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1T1,
Canada.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In this transition report on Form
20-F, which we refer to as the "Transition Report", except as otherwise
indicated or as the context otherwise requires, the "Company", "we" or "us"
refers to Avino Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You should rely only on the
information contained in this Transition Report. We have not authorized anyone
to provide you with information that is different. The information in this
Transition Report may only be accurate on the date of this Transition Report or

<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless we otherwise indicate in
this Transition Report, all references to "Canadian Dollars", "CDN$" or "$" are

are to the lawful currency of the United States</P>
<P align=center><B>Forward-looking Statements</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following discussion contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States <I>Private
Securities Legislation Reform Act of 1995 </I>concerning the Company's plans for
its mineral properties which may affect the future operating results and
financial position. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but
are not limited to, the factors set forth in the sections entitled "Risk
Factors" in Item 3.D., and "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in
Item 5. Statements concerning reserves and resources may also be deemed to
constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that such statements reflect
the conclusion that deposits may be economically exploitable. Any statements
that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations,
plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance
(often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects", "does not
expect", "is expected", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", "plans",
"estimates", or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results
"may", "could", "would", or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not
statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements".</P>

Estimate of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We advise United States investors

recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities

<P align=justify>forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and
elsewhere in this Transition Report.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>We will be required to raise
additional capital to mine our properties. </I>The Company is currently in the
exploration stage of its properties. If the Company determines based on its most
recent information that it is feasible to begin operations on its properties,
the Company will be required to raise additional capital in order to develop and
bring the properties into production.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>We have incurred net losses
since our inception and expect losses to continue. </I>We have not been
profitable since our inception. For the eleven months period ended December 31,
2007, we had a net loss of $885,863 and an accumulated deficit on December 31,
2007 of $21,644,049. The Company has not generated revenues from operations
since 1998 and does not expect to generate revenues from operations until one or
more of its properties are placed in production. There is no assurance that any
of the Company's properties will be placed in production or that the Company's
operations will be profitable in the future. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>The mining industry is highly
speculative and involves substantial risks. </I>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.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>The commercial quantities of
ore cannot be accurately predicted. </I>Whether 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.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>There are no assurances that
we can produce minerals on a commercially viable basis.</I> 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.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Mining operations and
exploration activities are subject to various federal, provincial and local laws
and regulations. </I>Laws and regulation govern the development, mining,
production, importing and exporting of minerals, taxes, labour standards,
occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety,
toxic substances, and other matters. In many cases, licenses and permits are
required to conduct mining operations. Amendments to current laws and
regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more
stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on the
Company. </P>

<!--$$/page=--><A name=page_11></A>
<P align=justify>Applicable laws and regulations will require the Company to
make certain capital and operating expenditures to initiate new operations.
Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to close an operation
once it is started until a particular problem is remedied or to undertake other
remedial actions.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Market price is highly
speculative. </I>The market price of metals is highly speculative and volatile.
Instability in metal prices may affect the interest in mining properties and the
development of and production of such properties.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Penny stock rules may make it
more difficult to trade the Company's common shares. </I>The SEC has adopted
regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security
that has a market price, as defined, less than US$5.00 per share or an exercise
price of less than US$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our
securities may be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional
sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors such as institutions with assets
in excess of US$5,000,000 or an individual with net worth in excess of
US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 jointly with
his or her spouse. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealers
must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and receive the
purchaser's written agreement of the transaction prior to the sale.
Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our
securities and also affect the ability of our investors to sell their shares in
the secondary market.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Title risks. </I>The validity
and ownership of mining property holdings can be uncertain and may be contested.
Although the Company's properties in Canada are currently wholly owned by the
Company, there are currently a number of pending and potential native title or
traditional land owner claims in Canada. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that the Company's properties in Canada will not be affected. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Competition for mineral
land</I>. There is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available for
acquisition, claim staking or leasing in the areas where the Company
contemplates expanding its operations and conducting exploration activities.
Many participants are engaged in the mining business, including large,
established mining companies. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully for new mining properties.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Competition for recruitment
and retention of qualified personnel</I>. We compete with other exploration
companies, many of which have greater financial resources than us or are further
in their development, for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees
and other personnel. Competition for exploration resources at all levels is
currently very intense, particularly affecting the availability of manpower,
drill rigs and supplies. If we require and are unsuccessful in acquiring
additional personnel or other exploration resources, we will not be able to grow
at the rate we desire or at all.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Uncertainty of exploration and
development programs</I>. 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.</P>
<P align=center>11</P>

noShade SIZE=5>
<!--$$/page=--><A name=page_12></A>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Licenses and permits</I>. The
operations of the Company require licenses and permits from various governmental
authorities. The Company believes that it holds all necessary licenses and
permits under applicable laws and regulations and believes that it is presently
complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits.
However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various
circumstances. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain
or maintain all necessary licenses and permits as are required to explore and
develop its properties, commence construction or operation of mining facilities
and properties under exploration or development or to maintain continued
operations that economically justify the cost.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Political or economic
instability or unexpected regulatory change. </I>Certain of our properties are
located in countries, provinces and states more likely to be subject to
political and economic instability, or unexpected legislative change, than is
usually the case in certain other countries, provinces and states. Our mineral
exploration activities could be adversely effected by:</P>
<UL style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">
  <LI>political instability and violence;
  <LI>war and civil disturbances;
  <LI>expropriation or nationalization;
  <LI>changing fiscal regimes;
  <LI>fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
  <LI>high rates of inflation;
  <LI>underdeveloped industrial and economic infrastructure;
  <LI>changes in the regulatory environment governing mineral properties; and
  <LI>unenforceability of contractual rights; </LI></UL>
<P align=justify>any of which may adversely affect our business in that
country.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>We may be adversely affected
by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates</I>. We maintain our bank accounts
mainly in Canadian and U.S. Dollars. Any appreciation in the currency of Mexico
or other countries where we may carryout exploration activities against the
Canadian or U.S. Dollar will increase our costs of carrying out operations in
such countries. In addition, any decrease in the U.S. Dollar against the
Canadian Dollar will result in a loss on our books to the extent we hold funds
in U.S. Dollars.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Land Reclamation
requirements</I>. Although variable depending on location and the governing
authority, land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on mineral
exploration companies (as well as companies with mining operations) in order to
minimize the long term effects of land disturbance. Reclamation may include
requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents and
reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation. In order to
carry out reclamation obligations imposed on us in connection with our mineral
exploration we must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent
on further exploration programs.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Litigation. </I>Although the
Company is not currently subject to litigation, it may become involved in
disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any
litigation could be costly and time consuming and could divert our management
from our business operations. In addition, if the Company is unable to resolve
any litigation favorably, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial performance, cash flow and results of operations.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Acquisitions</I>. 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 </P>

<P align=justify>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 Company's ability to
raise capital to acquire and explore resource properties may be adversely
affected by the market prices for natural resources which are highly speculative
and volatile. 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.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Conflict of interest.
</I>Certain directors and officers of the Company are officers and/or directors
of, or are associated with, other natural resource companies that acquire
interests in mineral properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of
interest from time to time. The directors are required by law, however, to act
honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders and to disclose any personal interest which they may have in
any material transaction which is proposed to be entered into with the Company
and to abstain from voting as a director for the approval of any such
transaction.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Dependence on management</I>.
We are dependent on the services of key executives including our President and
Chief Executive Officer and other highly skilled and experienced executives and
personnel focused on advancing our corporate objectives as well as the
identification of new opportunities for growth and funding. Due to our
relatively small size, the loss of these persons or our inability to attract and
retain additional highly skilled employees required for our activities may have
a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Uncertainty of continuing as a
going concern. </I>The continuation of the Company depends upon its ability to
develop a self-supporting business and generate cash flow from operations and/or
to raise equity capital through the sale of its securities. The Company will be
required to raise new financing through the sale of shares or issuance of debt
to continue with the exploration and development of its mineral properties. As a
result, there is uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company's consolidated financial statements do not include the
adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a
going concern.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Limited and volatile trading
volume. </I>Although the Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture
Exchange, referred to as the "TSX-V" and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, referred
to as the "FSE" and quoted in the United States on the OTC Bulletin Board,
referred to as the "OTC BB", the volume of trading has been limited and volatile
in the past and is likely to continue to be so in the future, reducing the
liquidity of an investment in the Company's common shares and making it
difficult for investors to readily sell their shares in the open market. Without
a liquid market for the Company's common shares, investors may be unable to sell
their shares at favorable times and prices and may be required to hold their
shares in declining markets or to sell them at unfavorable prices.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Volatility of share price.
</I>In recent years, securities markets in Canada have experienced a high level
of price volatility. The market price of many resource companies, particularly
those, like the Company, that are considered speculative exploration companies,
have experienced wide fluctuations in price, resulting in substantial losses to
investors who have sold their shares at a low price point. These fluctuations
are based only in part on the level of progress of exploration, and can reflect
general economic and market trends, world </P>

apparent relation to any objective factors or criteria. During the 2007-II
fiscal year, the Company's common share price fluctuated between a low of $1.46
and a high of $2.75. Subsequent to the 2007-II fiscal year and as of May 31,
2008, the Company's common share price has fluctuated between a low of $1.36 and
a high of $1.78. Significant fluctuations in the Company's common share price is
likely to continue, and could potentially increase in the future.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Difficulty for United States
investors to effect services of process against the Company. </I>The Company is
incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada.
Consequently, it will be difficult for United States investors to affect service
of process in the United States upon the directors or officers of the Company,
or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts
predicated upon civil liabilities under the United States <I>Securities Exchange
Act of 1934</I>, as amended. The majority of the Company's directors and
officers are residents of Canada and all of the Company's assets are located
outside of the United States. A judgment of a United States court predicated
solely upon such civil liabilities would probably be enforceable in Canada by a
Canadian court if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained had
jurisdiction, as determined by the Canadian court, in the matter. There is
substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in
Canada against any of such persons or the Company predicated solely upon such
civil liabilities.</P>

changed its corporate name to International Avino Mines Ltd. and affected a
reverse stock split of one common share for every five common shares
outstanding. On August 29, 1997, the Company changed its corporate name to Avino
Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd., its current name, to better reflect the business
of the Company of exploring for and mining silver and gold.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a natural resource
company, primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of
natural resource properties. Our principal business activities have been the
exploration of certain mineral properties located in Canada, specifically
British Columbia and the Yukon Territory, and in Mexico. Since fiscal 2001 we
capitalized expenditures of $607,668 on the properties in Canada. These
capitalized expenditures consist of $187,854 on the Aumax property, $163,467 on
the Olympic-Kelvin property, and $256,347 on the Minto property. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On July 17, 2006, the Company

the Company's pre-existing 49% share of Cia Minera, brought the Company's
ownership interest in Cia Minera to 88.25% . The additional 39.25% interest in
Cia Minera was obtained though the acquisition of 76.88% of the common shares of
Promotora Avino S.A. De C.V., referred to as "Promotora", which in turn owns
49.75% of Cia Minera's common shares, and the direct acquisition of 1% of the

<P align=justify><B>Operations and Principal Activities</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is a Canadian-based
resource firm focused on silver and gold exploration. The Company has a long
prior history of operation, beginning in 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.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Presently, the Company is an
"exploration stage company", as all of the Company's properties are currently in
the exploratory stage of development. In order to determine if a commercially
viable mineral deposit exists in any of the Company's properties, further
geological work will need to be done and a final evaluation based upon the
results obtained to conclude economic and legal feasibility.</P>

<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have no other significant
acquisitions or dispositions of property, other than as otherwise disclosed in
this Transition Report.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Competition</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 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 2007, demand for silver exceeded supply and
worldwide demand is expected to increase through 2008. 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 Company may eventually be unable to
acquire attractive gold or silver mining properties.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Seasonality</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain of our operations are
conducted in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. The weather during the
colder seasons in these areas can be extreme and can cause 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 monitor the risks of forest
fires.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Governmental Regulation</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The current and anticipated
future operations of the Company, including development activities and
commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various
federal, territorial and local governmental authorities and such operations are
and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development,
mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste
disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and
other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and
related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production
and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws,
regulations and permits. Such operations and exploration activities are also
subject to substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies and
may require that the Company obtain permits from various governmental agencies.
The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and
regulations which currently apply to its activities. There can be no assurance,
however, that all permits which the Company may require for construction of
mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on
reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations, or that new legislation or
modifications to existing legislation, would not have an adverse effect on any
exploration or mining project which the Company might undertake.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mineral exploration and mining in
Mexico is covered under the Mining Law as first published in June 1992, and
amended in April 2005. Mining operations in Mexico are administered by the
Ministry of Economy. Environmental regulations are covered under "Ley General
del Equilibrio Ecol&#243;gio y la Protecci&#243;n al Ambiente" (General Law of Ecological
Balance and Environmental Protection) and its regulations. Certain other
environmental laws, including "Ley de Aguas Nacionales" (Law of National Waters)
and "Ley Forestal" (Forestry Law) and their associated regulations may also
cover certain operations. The kind of permits or authorizations required to
conduct mining or mineral exploration operations in Mexico depend upon the type
of operation. Common exploration activities do not require prior environmental
authorization or licenses, but it is advisable to request a confirmation from
the National Water Commission that planned operations will not </P>

<P align=justify>affect the water table. It is also necessary to confirm that
any planned operations will not be conducted in protected natural areas.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has obtained all
necessary permits and authorizations required for its current and anticipated
exploration. The Company has had no material costs related to compliance and/or
permits in recent years, and anticipates no material costs in the next year.
Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing
operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent
implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact on the Company
and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of
operations by the Company.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Failure to comply with applicable
laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions
thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities
causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures
requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial
actions. Parties engaged in exploration and mining operations may be required to
compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and
may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violation of
applicable laws or regulations.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The enactment of new laws or
amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and
activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could
have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital
expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at
producing properties or require abandonment or delays in the development of new
mining properties. </P>

<P align=justify><B>Eagle Property</B></P><IMG src="form20fx18x1.jpg" border=0> <BR>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Ownership. </I>The Eagle
property is wholly owned by the Company and was acquired in 2003 when it
acquired its 100% interest in 14 quartz leases by issuing 200,000 common shares
at a price of $0.50 per share for total consideration of $100,000. The property
was written down to a nominal value of $1 in fiscal 2006 by a charge to
operations of $103,242.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Property Description and
Location. </I>This property is located in the Yukon Territory approximately
eight kilometers west of Keno City. The property covers approximately 516
hectares. It is currently in its Phase I stage of exploration. The property is
accessed by road. Whitehorse, the nearest major city, is approximately 380
kilometres to the south of the village of Mayo. The village of Mayo is 60
kilometers to the southeast of Keno City. The Eagle property lies on the
south-east facing slope of Galena Hill where the elevations range from about
1350 to 1540 m. Permafrost, while thin to non-existent in places, is reported to
be found under accumulations of surface rubble left from glaciation.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>History. </I>The Eagle
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.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Proposed Work Program. </I>A
study carried out in August of 2002 recommended geochemical and geophysical
exploration to examine the continuity of the Eagle vein. Drilling and
underground exploration would follow based on the success of the first work. A
budget of $160,000 has been proposed to carry out further work on the Eagle
property. Our management is presently considering this proposal.</P>

  <p><strong>Aumax Property
</strong></p>
<P align=center><IMG
src="form20fx19x1.jpg"
border=0></P> <BR>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Ownership. </I>The Aumax
Property is wholly owned by the Company and was acquired in 2003 when it
acquired a 100% interest in six unpatented mineral claims by issuing 200,000
common shares at a price of $0.50 per share and paying $4,000 in cash for total
consideration of $104,000. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Property Description and
Location. </I>The property is located in southern British Columbia approximately
16 kilometers southwest of the town of Lillooet. The property can be accessed
from Lillooet by a logging road. The upper zone of the Aumax property can be
accessed by hiking a further 1.5 km to the southwest. The property covers
approximately 975 hectares and is located between Cayoosh Creek and Phair Creek.
The showings were discovered in 1999. The showings have economically interesting
gold and silver values.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>History. </I>Cayoosh Creek has
a history of limited placer gold production starting in the 1860's. Some of this
production occurred immediately downstream of the property, near the mouth of
Downtown Creek.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A limited exploration program of
prospecting, rock and soil sampling and mechanized trenching was carried out in
October of 1999. Trenching on the Aumax showing was inconclusive. Many highly
anomalous quartz-carbonate boulders, up to 2.2 grams per tonne of gold and 305
grams per tonne of silver, were excavated but bedrock was not reached in
critical areas. Chip samples of veins exposed in the trenches were highly
anomalous, generally in the hundreds of parts per billion gold, with one sample
over one gram per tonne of gold over 0.5 metres. Further prospecting and soil
sampling of the southeast (upslope) of the Aumax showing was recommended.</P>

<HR style="PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always" align=center width="100%" color=black
noShade SIZE=5>
<!--$$/page=--><A name=page_20></A>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limited soil sampling and
prospecting in 1999 on the Upper Zone returned extremely anomalous soil samples
to 4,560 parts per billion gold. A grid geochemical sampling and further
prospecting in this area was recommended.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has placed a deposit
of $1,500 at December 31, 2007 (January 31, 2007:$1,500), registered in the name
of the Ministry of Finance of British Columbia, as security for estimated future
reclamation costs.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Proposed Work Program.
</I>Geological studies conducted late in 2002 concluded that the discoveries to
date lie downslope of the mineral source. A subsequent report in November 2004
recommended a Phase 1 program of more prospecting, geological mapping and
additional soil sampling to determine the source of the mineralization. Based on
the results of this program, Phase 2 exploration would include trenching and
possible diamond drilling but to date, no work program has been proposed.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Olympic-Kelvin Property</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Ownership. </I>The
Olympic-Kelvin property is wholly owned by the Company and was acquired in 1987
when it acquired a 100% interest in 20 reverted Crown granted mineral claims,
one located mineral claim and three fractions. The property was written down
entirely in fiscal 2002.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Property Description and
Location. </I>The Olympic-Kelvin property totals approximately 662.5 hectares
and is located on the south side of Carpenter Lake, five kilometers northeast of
Goldbridge in the Lillooet Mining Division, British Columbia. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Olympic-Kelvin property is
easily accessible by the all-weather, publicly maintained, Grey Rock logging
road which runs northeast from Goldbridge. Access on the Olympic-Kelvin property
is possible on a number of cat trails built by the Company and previous
operators.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Olympic-Kelvin property
covers rocks of the Pioneer Formation and Bridge River Terrane. These rocks are
cut by northwest trending regional scale structures sub-parallel to the Ferguson
and Cadwallader Structures. The structures on the Olympic-Kelvin property are
roughly the same distance from the Upper 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 northwest trending structures on
the Olympic-Kelvin property. These structures on the property are mineralized
with gold and silver and have received considerable past work, including at
least four adits.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>History. </I>The Company
recommenced exploration on the Olympic-Kelvin property in January 2004,
following up on work completed in 1988 that outlined two prospective areas for
gold and silver, the Margarita Zone and the Enigma Zone. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the Margarita Zone, hole OLY
88-4 returned 24 grams per tonne of gold over 0.85 metres within a much wider
intersection of 8.2 grams per tonne of gold over 3.48 metres. The true width of
this zone is estimated to be 1.47 metres. A large part of the zone is
listwanite, indicating the potential for better grade mineralization immediately
below this intersection. Hole OLY 88-6 cut the same zone 75 metres to the
northwest and returned 4.26 grams per tonne of gold over 1.34 metres within an
eight metre section (5.6 m true width) of mainly listwanite. The area of these
intersections is approximately 50 metres off of the Gray Rock Road and could be
accessed for mining purposes by an underground ramp from the road.</P>

<!--$$/page=--><A name=page_21></A>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Enigma Zone is a colour
anomaly on the south shore of Carpenter Lake on Lot 6280, approximately 700
metres east, north-east of the Margarita Zone. Trenching revealed a quartz stock
work zone with areas of abundant stibnite. Sampling returned 1.7 grams per ton
of gold over 21 metres within a 75 metre mineralized zone. This is a very wide
zone for the Bridge River Camp and, if the zone has significant strike length,
it could be amenable to open pit mining. Hole 04-0k-04 was drilled 154 metres
under the Enigma Zone. This hole returned highly anomalous gold values to 0.38
grams per tonne. Detailed geological mapping and geochemical sampling has been
recommended.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Drilling in January of 2005 was
unsuccessful in intersecting the Margarita Zone. One hole was drilled from the
east to attempt to intersect the zone. This hole was abandoned at 21.3 metres
because of bad ground conditions. No values of economic interest were returned
from samples taken from the hole.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has placed a deposit
of $1,500 at December 31, 2007 (January 31, 2007: $1,500), registered in the
name of the Ministry of Finance of British Columbia, as security for estimated
future reclamation costs.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No drilling on the Olympic Property
was completed in 2007.</P>

further work is proposed at this time.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Minto Property</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Ownership. </I>The Minto
Property is wholly owned by the Company and was acquired in early 1985 when it
acquired its 100% interest in eight Crown granted mineral claims, eight reverted
Crown granted mineral claims and one located mineral claim. In fiscal 2002, the
property was written down to a nominal value of $1.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Property Description and
Location. </I>The Minto Property is situated about ten kilometers east of
Goldbridge in the Bridge River gold district of British Columbia and adjoins the
Olympic-Kelvin Property. The property covers approximately 204 hectares. The
Minto property is situated in the Bralorne gold camp, about 160 kilometers, by
air, north of Vancouver. The claims occupy the lake bed and north flank of
Carpenter Lake. Access from Goldbridge is made via an all-weather gravel road
which skirts the north shore of Carpenter Lake.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gold Bridge itself can be reached
from Vancouver via Hope and Lillooet, a distance of 445 kilometers, or via
Pemberton using the four-wheel-drive Hurley Pass route, a distance of 225
km.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The terrain is rugged, typical of
the eastern margin of the Coast Range Mountains. The claim group ranges in
elevation from 650 meters on Carpenter Lake to a maximum of 1020 meters.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The climate of the Bridge River
District is transitional between humid coastal belt and more arid interior
plateau. Annual precipitation is modest with a significant proportion falling as
snow in the winter. Summers tend to be warm to hot depending on the altitude,
and winters are moderately cold.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>History. </I>The claim group
has been explored intermittently for over sixty years and several gold-bearing
structures are known on the property. Production from the Minto mine between
1934 and 1940 amounted to 88,900 tons of ore returning 17,558 ounces of gold and
50,582 ounces of silver. During 1985, geological, geochemical, and geophysical
(VLF-EM) surveys were conducted and trenches were excavated in anomalous areas.
In-fill soil geochemistry and further trenching were undertaken in 1987.</P>

<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A mechanized trenching program
was carried out on the Minto Property in June, 2005 to test the Minto North and
Jumper Zones. Seven trenches were excavated, sampled, mapped and reclaimed,
usually in a one day period. Chip samples from all the trenches returned values
from anomalous to economic levels in gold.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December 2006, the Company
announced the results of the 2006 drilling program on the Minto Property. The
four diamond core holes were drilled to explore down dip extensions of gold
bearing structures originally discovered in trench 827 on the Minto North
Zone.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holes MO-06-01 and 02 were
drilled from a site approximately 10 metres west of trench 827. Hole MO-06-03
was drilled from a site approximately 2 metres north and 7 metres east of
MO-06-01 and 02. Hole MO-06-04 was drilled from the same set-up.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The gold bearing structures
consist of sets of parallel narrow (1-2 mm) fractures containing quartz,
carbonate, grey sulphide veinlets. Assay samples from the four holes drilled
conveyed from 1.04 grams per ten to 45.4 grams per ton.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has placed a deposit
of $2,500 at December 31, 2007 (January 31, 2007: $2,500), registered in the
name of the Ministry of Finance of British Columbia, as security for estimated
future reclamation costs.</P>

and a further 1.1% interest in December 2007. The Company continues to consider
its options with relation to the remaining equity interest.</P>
<P align=justify>Cia Minera leases four core mineral claims in consideration for
royalties. The lessor had contested the underlying royalty agreement, and had
filed a legal action claiming royalties were owed from years prior to the
Company&#146;s acquisition of control of Cia Minera. An amicable settlement was
negotiated during the period ended December 31, 2007 whereby the Company settled
the dispute at a cost of $1,497,604 (settlement denominated in USD$1,500,000).
The $1,497,604 amount, less a prior year accrual of $738,302 is recorded in
litigation settlement expense. The Company paid a $1,398,457 (USD$1,400,000)
portion of the settlement and the $99,130 balance owing (USD$100,000) is
recorded in accounts payable, which is to be repaid during the Company&#146;s 2008
year-end.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Property Description and
Location. </I>The Avino Mine is located approximately 74 kilometers to the
northeast of the city of Durango and covers approximately 4,364 hectares. The
mine is accessible via road. The Avino Mine had been an open pit operation until
March 1993, at which time Cia Minera commenced underground operations.
Mineralized rock is broken by ripping, drilling and blasting and is trucked to
the concentrator, approximately 415 meters from the pit, where it is processed.
The Avino Mine was an underground operation at the time of closure.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>History. </I>On July 17, 2006,
the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 39.25% equity interest on
Cia Minera in consideration of the issuance of an aggregate of 3,164,702 common
shares of the Company. As a result of this transaction, the Company increased
its ownership interest in Cia Minera to 88.25% . There was no change in the
effective control of the Company as a result of this transaction. The
acquisition of a further 1.1% interest in Cia Minera from an estate for no
additional consideration was approved on December 21, 2007. As at December 31,
2007, the Company&#146;s ownership interest in Cia Minera is 89.35% .</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Avino Mine operated from 1974
to 2001, producing about 497 tons of silver, three tons of gold, and 11,000 tons
of copper until the suspension of mining operations in November 2001. Since that
time, the mine plant and equipment have been on care and maintenance and the
Company has spent $515,816 on the care and maintenance of the mine.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Avino Mine and mill were
historically serviced by a heavy equipment repair shop, a mechanical and
electrical shop, an assay office, a metallurgical laboratory, a warehouse and
other auxiliary facilities. Electric power can be supplied by the
government-owned Federal Electricity Commission, referred to as the "FEC" which
presently is capable of supplying up to 2500 HP to the Avino Mine and mill. As
the mill is expanded, additional power must be obtained from the FEC. In order
to obtain the additional electric power, it has been necessary for the FEC in
1983 to construct a new power line approximately 12 miles in length which is
capable of supplying an additional 2750 HP, sufficient for the maximum proposed
increase in mill capacity.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Water 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 </P>

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.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April 2006, Wardrop
Engineering Inc., which we refer to as "Wardrop", completed the study on
"Tailings Retreatment Process Options for the Avino Tailings Project in Durango,
Mexico", referred to as the "Wardrop Report". The Wardrop Report concluded the
oxide tailing is amenable to cyanidation with agglomerated heap leach as the
method of choice followed by Merril Crowe precipitation of the silver and gold.
The sulphide tailing would require sampling and further metallurgical test work
before a proper assessment can be made.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preliminary evaluation of the
oxide tailings suggested the capital cost for a 500,000 ton per year, 4 year
operation is US$16,200,000 and the cost to operate per ton of tailings is
US$8.64. Capital Costs for a plant twice the size and half the life was
US$22,700,000. The internal rate of return and the net present value favoured
the 4 year operation.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The capital cost estimate
includes a 25% contingency and it is based on new equipment. A reduction in
capital cost can be accomplished with good used equipment.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The disclosure of the implied
values is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are
considered to be too speculative geologically to have the economic
considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as
mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will
be realized.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The heap leach process design in
the study was based on a column test performed at Process Research Associates
Limited from a composite of samples from the lower and middle bench. These
samples were collected and documented in the October 2005 report entitled "A
Tailings Resource" by Minestart Management Inc. for whom the qualified person
was Bryan Slim, MBA, P. Eng. Recovery of silver and gold from the column test
was 73% and 78.9% respectively after 81 days.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Rick Alexander P. Eng., an
independent qualified person as defined by applicable Canadian rules has
prepared the capital cost estimate and co-coordinated Wardrop's work on the
Avino Tailings Project.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December 2006, the Company
announced results of the first 6 diamond core drill holes exploring the Avino
silver, gold and copper deposit at its wholly owned property 80 km northeast of
Durango, Mexico.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company operated the mine
from 1976 to 2001 when closure was caused by low silver, gold and copper prices
and the local smelter closing for toll processing. The 2006 drill program was
designed to test for continuity down dip below the existing workings of the
three principal areas of mineralization (San Luis, Elena-Tolosa, and Chirumbo).
The Avino vein system strikes principally east west over 1.2 km and dips south
at 60 - 70&#186;.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The initial hole CH-06-03
intersected the Avino vein system 180 m below the original Chirumbo workings.
The hole intersected both the main Vein/Breccia zone and the footwall breccias
as follows:</P>

04 explored the down dip and down plunge, extension of the main ore shoot
(Elena-Tolosa) on which most underground mining has occurred in the past. Holes
ET-06-01 and ET-06-02 intersected the Avino Vein System approximately 40 m below
Level 11 &#189; (the last level in production when the mine closed in November 2001).
Holes ET-06-03 and ET-06-04 intersected the ore-zone approximately 180 m below

<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September 2006, the Company
commissioned an independent plant audit by Herb Osborne and Associates, a widely
recognized expert in process plant evaluations, to conduct a full review of the
plant, including the condition of all equipment, the capacity of each circuit,
and the efficiency of plant. The report was an order of magnitude cost estimate
for the processing plant and is not NI 43-101 compliant as it does not include
underground development work.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Avino process plant was built
initially in the 1970&#146;s refurbished and capacity increased in 1993. Most of the
infrastructure is in place for an ongoing 1000 TPD operation. Some of the
buildings will require cleanup and repair and refurbishment. The plant was fully
permitted but remains in temporary closure. Permits will have to be brought
current. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the time of shutdown in 2001
with low commodity prices the mill was operating at an average rate of 1130 TPD.
The concentration ratio (weight) ranged from 2.5 to 3.5% i.e. producing 25-30
TPD of concentrate at a 20-25 g/t Au, 2-4 Kg/t Ag and 22-24% Cu. Prior to shut
down the average cost per ton milled was approximately US $16/ton and about US
$7/ton for freight treatment and refining charges from the smelter. A new mining
value cut off grade was determined to be around US $30/ton. This followed a
review of the historical production and financial figures.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The report concluded that the
process plant can be brought back into operation in as little as three months
contingent upon the availability of operators and mechanics for about US $1
million for an operating life of 5 to 10 years. A more realistic schedule would
be nine months to accommodate the time required to ready the mine for continuous
production. The operating life of 5 to 10 years refers to the operating life of
the </P>

<P align=justify>processing plant after the capital expenditures and not the
operating life of the mine. The Company has not completed a feasibility study
and this should not be perceived as a projection.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The report also concluded that
the existing tailings pond is near capacity and that there is adequate space
with reasonable gradients adjacent to the existing tailings to construct a new
tailings area as well as space for a future heap leach operation on previously
disturbed ground. Order of magnitude cost estimate for this tailings facility is
based on a starter dam and monitoring devices necessary for a ten year life is a
little over US $2 million.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total capital expenditure to
achieve a 10 year operating plan is therefore estimated to be around US $3
million and a reasonable valuation of the property as an operating entity is US
$40 million. The valuation of US $40 million by Herb Osborne and Associates is
the construction value for a new 1,000 TPD plant with new equipment and is not a
value of the property as an operating entity.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is also considering
dewatering the main trackless decline ramp in 2008. This will allow access for
development of underground workings and drilling to bring the ore blocks into NI
43-101 compliance.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December 2006, the Company
contracted Peter E. Walcott &amp; Associates to carry out an 80 km line deep
penetrating IP Survey at its Avino property in Mexico. IP Geophysics will help
identify drill targets for the upcoming years. The IP Survey was completed in
2007. Once a final report has been received from Peter E. Walcott &amp;
Associates, Avino is planning to conduct follow-up soil geochemical, satellite
imagery and other surveys to better define targets in the covered areas.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Proposed Work Program. </I>As a result of the numerous
ore-grade intersections encountered at San Gonzalo, a 43-101-compliant resource
calculation is now underway for this zone. Avino has retained David Gunning, P.
Eng., a Qualified Person under 43-101, who is reviewing all results. Avino also
plans to extract and process a 10,000-tonne bulk sample from San Gonzalo. This
program will provide concentrate for testing at various smelters. In preparation
for the sampling, Avino will re-commission a 250-ton circuit at the mill to
facilitate the processing of lead-silver ore from San Gonzalo. A critical part
of the 2008 exploration will include further drilling on a number of known
zones. Cerro San Jose, Aguila Mexicana and Santa Ana are expected key targets,
but drilling should be widespread across the property.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Bralorne Mine Property </B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November 26, 1991, the Company
acquired a 100% interest in a property consisting of 154 Crown granted mineral
claims, five reverted Crown granted claims, four located mineral claims and two
placer leases. These interests are collectively referred to as the "Bralorne
Property". Pursuant to an option and joint venture agreement with Bralorne Gold
Mines Ltd. (&#147;Bralorne&#148;) dated July 21, 1993 and amended on July 12, 1994,
referred to as the "JV Agreement", Bralorne acquired the right to acquire a 50%
interest in the Bralorne Property. We then entered into a further agreement with
Bralorne dated July 21, 1995 under which the original JV Agreement was amended.
Under the terms of the amended agreement, Bralorne acquired its 50% interest in
the Bralorne Property. The Bralorne Property was then operated as a joint
venture between the Company and Bralorne. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective June 20, 2002, the
Company transferred its interest in the Bralorne Property to Bralorne for a
nominal amount of $1 and the assumption by Bralorne of the full amount of the
principal of US$2,000,000 and interest payable under the mortgage bonds
originally issued for a loan obtained by the Company and Bralorne in 1995, the
proceeds of which were to be used for further development of the Bralorne
Property. As a result of the disposition of the Bralorne Property, the Company
recognized a loss of $40,097 and removed certain assets and liabilities from
proportionate consolidation in 2003.</P>

<P align=justify>In the near term, we will continue our exploration on the Avino
property. A critical part of the 2008 exploration will include further drilling
on a number of known zones, including the San Gonzalo ore deposit and the ET
zone on the main Avino Vein from which the company mined gold from 1975 through
2001. We also plan to extract and process a 10,000-tonne bulk sample from San
Gonzalo. This program will provide concentrate for testing at various smelters.
In preparation for the sampling, Avino will re-commission a 250-ton circuit at
the mill to facilitate the processing of lead-silver ore from San Gonzalo. In
addition, as a result of the numerous ore-grade intersections encountered at San
Gonzalo, a 43-101 compliant resource calculation will be produced in the 2008
fiscal year. </P>

<P align=justify>The eleven month period ended December 31, 2007 experienced a
draw down on working capital and total assets because there were no funds raised
through the issuance of stock in that period or by other means whereas the

working capital by raising $10 million in cash through a private placement of 5

<P align=justify>The private placement noted above also contributed to the total
assets increasing in the year ended January 31, 2007 in conjunction with the

<P align=justify>acquisition of control of Cia Minera in the year ended January
31, 2007 the liabilities in Cia Minera became consolidated with the Company and
are no longer reported as a separate obligation. The acquisition of control of
Cia Minera also resulted in a different liability at that time however and that
was a future income tax liability of $2,335,999. The most recent fiscal year has
seen a reduction in that liability of $501,083 due to a future income tax
recovery representing Mexican tax loss carry forward amounts available to offset
the Mexican based future income tax liability. The future income tax liability
and the future income tax recovery are due to the difference in carrying amounts
and tax bases of the Mexican mineral properties, mine plant, and equipment,
which were acquired in the purchase of Cia Minera.</P>

three months ended January 31, 2007.</I></B></P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Operating and administrative expenses</I></B></P>
<P align=justify>Operating and administrative expenses had a negative amount of
$99,136 for the two month period ended December 31, 2007 compared with $793,890
for quarter ended January 31, 2007, a positive difference of $893,026. The
amount for the current quarter was negative as a result of an adjustment whereby
$139,779 in general exploration and $104,386 in office and miscellaneous were
capitalized instead of expensed. Excluding these adjustments, the current
quarter operating and administrative expenses would have been $145,029, a
decrease of $648,861 from the comparative quarter. This change is attributed to
decreases of $7,160 in amortization, $8,000 in management fees, $39,392 in
salaries and benefits, $225,411 in shareholder and investor relations, $389,287
in stock-based compensation and $19,329 in travel and entertainment. Offsetting
those decreases were increases of $21,412 in professional fees and $38,705 in
regulatory and compliance fees.</P>
<P align=justify>As noted earlier, the Company changed its fiscal year end from
January 31 to December 31, thus creating a fourth quarter consisting of two
months for the current period compared to the standard three month period for
the comparative quarter. The shorter current period length is solely responsible
for the decrease in management fees and partially responsible for the other cost
reductions with the exception of amortization. Salaries and benefits were also
lower due to some of these costs being capitalized under exploration instead of
being expensed. The shareholder and investor relations expense was dramatically
higher in the prior year&#146;s fourth quarter because of the fair value attributed
to the granting of stock options to investor relations service providers. There
were also fewer investor relations service agreements in effect for the current
period. Another factor was employee stock-based compensation which had an amount
charged to operations in the quarter ended January 31, 2007 as opposed to no
such cost applied in the current year. Travel costs decreased partially as a
result of less international trade show participation in the current period.</P>
<P align=justify>Part of the reason for higher professional fees is the reliance
on a professional Mexican-based accounting firm to provide accounting services
for Cia Minera&#146;s operations. Regulatory and appliance fees in the two month
period ended December 31, 2007 were minimal due to no share capital activity.
The prior year&#146;s quarter had a year end adjustment whereby some regulatory and
compliance fees were reclassified as share issuance costs and this created an
overall increase when the two periods are compared.</P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Loss for the period</I></B></P>
<P align=justify>The loss for the two month period ended December 31, 2007 was
$168,616 compared with a loss of $891,249 for the quarter ended January 31,
2007, a decrease of $722,633. The current period had a future income tax benefit
of $501,083 which accounts for a large part of this difference. The large
difference in operating and administrative expenses between the two periods
discussed above is primarily negated by a litigation settlement expense of
$759,302 in the current period. This was the excess amount paid over the
previously booked accrued liability concerning the royalty dispute on the four
core mineral claims leased by Cia Minera. </P>

<P align=justify>General and administrative expenses totaled $868,527 for the
eleven month period ended December 31, 2007 compared with $4,014,734 for the
twelve month period ended January 31, 2007, a decrease of $3,146,207. The
largest individual expense decrease for the period was due to the recognition of
stock based compensation for options to employees in the twelve month period
ended January 31, 2007. The amount charged to operations in the current year was
$nil compared to $2,860,603 in the comparative period. Other cost decreases
include $88,263 in general exploration, $4,505 in office and miscellaneous,
$13,241 in regulatory and compliance fees, $14,203 in salaries and benefits,
$201,614 in shareholder and investor relations and $33,261 in travel costs.
Offsetting these decreases were increases of $1,000 in management fees and
$69,114 in professional fees.</P>
<P align=justify>The reasons for the changes to shareholder and investor
relations and travel and entertainment are the same as those for the fourth
quarter comparison. The lower costs that were mostly influenced by the shorter
fiscal year were office and miscellaneous, salaries and benefits, and management
fees. Management fees however, showed a slight increase because there was an
increase in the monthly compensation for the President that took effect part way
through the year ended January 31, 2007. Professional fees were quite higher in
the current year because of legal fees associated with the royalty settlement
and prior year audit fees which turned out to be higher than the estimated year
end accrual and as such the extra amount was charged to the current year. Audit
fees had also risen due to complex accounting issues arising from the
acquisition of control of Cia Minera and the first year of consolidation.
General exploration expenses decreased by a large amount because with control of
Cia Minera and the resulting consolidation, more of these costs are now
capitalized. Regulatory and compliance fees in the twelve month period ended
January 31, 2007 were higher due to the filing fees associated with the $10
million private placement compared to no such items in the current period. There
was no share capital activity in the current year and this resulted in minimal
fees with the exception of annual sustaining and SEDAR fees.</P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Loss for the period</I></B></P>
<P align=justify>Loss for the eleven month period ended December 31, 2007 was
$885,863 compared with a loss of $3,648,539 for the twelve month period ended
January 31, 2007, a decrease of $2,762,676. Whereas the overall general and
administrative costs for the current year were $3,146,207 lower than the prior
year, the other income and expense items in the current year had a net effect of
reducing this difference. The current period had a decrease of $70,892 in
interest and other income and charges of $759,302 relating to the royalty
settlement and $86,155 relating to the misappropriation of bank funds. The prior
year did not incur such other expenses. The prior year also did not incur a
future income tax benefit compared to the $501,083 that was incurred in the
current period.</P>

<P align=justify>The quarterly losses have been influenced by site assessment
costs pertaining to Cia Minera including feasibility studies and associated
overhead costs pertaining to traveling to Mexico on a frequent basis. These
costs have been replaced with general exploration and administrative costs
associated with ramping up exploration on Cia Minera&#146;s mineral properties. Since
the $10 million private placement that took place in the quarter ended April 30,
2006, there was more emphasis on shareholder and investor relations activities
and company promotion for the following five quarters. Higher interest revenue
in each quarter since Q1-April 30, 2006 is due to the Company carrying more cash
and has helped offset the increase in costs and make them appear more consistent
with periods prior to the private placement. Stock-based compensation is one
item that causes significant swings in the losses between the first four
quarters. The degree of impact caused by stock-based compensation in Q1-April
30, 2006 was $2,363,336 followed by $389,287 in Q4-January 31, 2007, and $53,990
in each of Q3-October 31, 2006 and Q2-July 31, 2006. There was no employee
stock-based compensation charged to operations in the most recent four quarters.
If not for some adjustments that reduced general exploration expenditures by
$139,779 and office and miscellaneous charges by $104,386, the loss for the
period in Q4-December, 2007 would have been significantly higher than the prior
three quarters. The Q4-December 31, 2007 period also incurred a litigation
settlement expense of $759,302 and a future income tax recovery of $501,083
whereas the other quarters did not incur such items.</P>
<P align=justify><B><U>Liquidity and Capital Resources</U></B></P>
<P align=justify>During the eleven month period ended December 31, 2007 the
Company capitalized exploration expenditures that increased its mineral property
carrying value on its Mexican properties by $2,263,332 and by $69,018 on its
British Columbia properties. At this time the Company has no operating revenues
but has earned interest income of $359,339 in the current eleven month period.
Although the Company&#146;s cash and cash equivalents continues to be drawn down by
operations, the Company will continue to earn significant interest revenue
throughout the next fiscal year.</P>
<P align=justify>At December 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of
$6,091,032 and cash and cash equivalents of $6,342,481. The Company is
continuing its exploration program and preparing for a bulk sampling program in
Mexico. The estimated drilling costs for Mexico this year is $1,200,000 and the
cost for the 10,000 tonne bulk sampling program is estimated to be $2,100,000
for capital costs and $500,000 for operating costs. There are no significant
plans for the British Columbia properties for the remainder of the new fiscal
year. The Company has sufficient cash on hand at this time to finance the
planned exploration work on its mineral properties and maintain administrative
operations through December 31, 2008.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company is in the exploration stage until such time that
the Avino mine is opened again. The investment in and expenditures on the
mineral properties comprise most of the Company&#146;s assets along with a lesser
asset amount in regards to the Avino mine facilities and equipment. The
recoverability of amounts shown for its mineral property interest and related
deferred costs and the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the continued support from its directors, the discovery of
economically recoverable reserves and the ability of the Company to obtain the
financing necessary to complete development and achieve profitable operations in
the future. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.</P>
<P align=justify>Mineral exploration and development is capital extensive, and
in order to re-commence operations at the Avino Mine, the Company may be
required to raise new equity capital in the future. There is no assurance that
the Company will be successful in raising additional new equity capital.</P>

<P align=justify><B><U>Changes in Accounting Policies</U></B></P>
<P align=justify>Effective February 1, 2007, the Company adopted the following
new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants (&#147;CICA&#148;). These accounting policy changes were adopted on a
prospective basis with no restatement of prior period consolidated financial
statements:</P>
<P align=justify>Section 1530 <I>Comprehensive Income</I></P>
<P align=justify>Section 3251 <I>Equity</I></P>
<P align=justify>Section 3855 <I>Financial Instruments &#150; Recognition and

<P align=justify>Section 3861 <I>Financial Instruments &#150; Disclosure and
Presentation</I></P>
<P align=justify>Section 3865 <I>Hedges</I></P>
<P align=justify>These standards address the classification, recognition and
measurement of financials instruments, the inclusion of other comprehensive
income, and establish the standards for hedge accounting. Upon the adoption of
these new standards the Company classified its investments in related companies
as available-for-sale, which are measured at fair value, and recorded a $17,117
increase in their carrying value as at February 1, 2007; representing the
aggregate cumulative unrealized gain, on the statement of accumulated other
comprehensive income. There were no other opening adjustments recorded on the
adoption of these standards. </P>
<P align=justify>On February 1, 2007, the Company also adopted CICA Section 1506
<I>Accounting Changes</I>, which expands requirements relating to voluntary
changes in accounting principles, and requires the Company to disclose new
sources of GAAP that have been issued but are not yet effective. </P>

<P align=justify>The Company entered into a cost sharing agreement dated October

overhead expenses, to reimburse 100% of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred on
behalf of the Company, and to pay a percentage fee based on the total overhead
and corporate expenses. The agreement may be terminated with one-month notice by
either party. Transactions and balances with Oniva, which is a related company,
are disclosed in the transactions with related parties section.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company has a contractual minimum drilling commitment for
the exploration of its mineral properties in Durango, Mexico. As at December 31,
2007 the Company is committed to drilling services at an estimated cost of
$286,949 (USD$290,405). Management expects that the Company&#146;s drilling services
equipment in fiscal 2008 will likely exceed the minimum commitment amount.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company has also entered into a service agreement in which
operating services will be performed in Durango, Mexico at a U.S. dollar

reporting, or causing them to be designed under their supervision, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
Canadian GAAP. The Company assessed the design of the internal controls over
financial reporting as at December 31, 2007 and concluded that there are

<P align=justify>The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a
company the size of the Company because of limitations in size and number of
staff. The Company believes it has taken steps to mitigate these risks by
consulting outside advisors and involving the Audit Committee and Board of
Directors in reviews and consultations where necessary. However, these
weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting could result in a more
than remote likelihood that a material misstatement would not be prevented or
detected. The Company believes that it must take additional steps to further
mitigate these risks by consulting outside advisors on a more regular and timely
basis and continuing to do periodic on-site inspections of the accounting
records in Mexico.</P>
<P align=justify>There have been no changes in the Company&#146;s internal controls
over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31,
2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially

<P align=justify>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 4, 2008, the
shareholders elected Messrs. Andrews, Baybak, Robertson, Wolfin, Wolfin and
Chevillon as directors.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The board has considered the
relationship of each director to the Company and currently considers four of the
six directors to be "unrelated" (Messrs. Andrews, Baybak, Robertson and
Chevillon). "Unrelated director" means a director who is independent of
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
interests and relationships arising solely from shareholdings.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Two of the directors (Messrs. Wolfin
and Wolfin) are related family members.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Procedures are in place to allow
the board to function independently. At the present time the board has
experienced directors that have made a significant contribution to the Company's
success, and are satisfied that it is not constrained in its access to
information, in its deliberations or in its ability to satisfy the mandate
established by law to supervise the business and affairs of the Company.
Committees meet independent of management and other directors.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Mandate of the Board of Directors, its Committees and
Management</B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 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, the chief executive officer and the chief financial 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.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Committees</B></P>
<P align=justify><I>Audit Committee</I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The audit committee assists the
board in its oversight of the Company's financial statements and other related
public disclosures, the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements relating to financial reporting, the external auditors,
qualifications and independence and the performance of the internal audit
function and the external auditors. The committee has direct communications
channels with the Company's auditors. The committee reviews the Company's
financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis of
financial and operating results. The committee can retain legal, accounting or
other advisors.</P>

<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The audit committee currently
consists of three directors (Messrs. David Wolfin, Lloyd J. Andrews and Gary
Robertson). Two of the members are unrelated and all of whom are financially
literate, and have accounting or related financial expertise. "Financially
literate" means the ability to read and understand a balance sheet, an income
statement, and a cash flow statement. "Accounting or related financial
expertise" means the ability to analyze and interpret a full set of financial
statements, including the notes attached thereto, in accordance with Canadian
GAAP.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The board has adopted a charter
for the audit committee which is reviewed annually and sets out the role and
oversight responsibilities of the audit committee with respect to:</P>
<UL style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">

  the establishment of the independence of the external auditor and the approval

  prohibited from providing; </P>

  <P>disclosure of financial and related information; and </P>
  <LI>
  <P>any other matter that the audit committee feels is important to its mandate
  or that which the board chooses to delegate to it. </P></LI></UL>
<P align=justify><I>Compensation Committee</I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The compensation committee
recommends to the board of directors the compensation of the Company's directors
and the Chief Executive Officer which the compensation committee feels is
suitable. Its recommendations are reached primarily by comparison of the
remuneration paid by the Company with publicly available information on
remuneration paid by other reporting issuers that the compensation committee
feels are similarly placed within the same business of the Company. </P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The compensation committee
consists of two unrelated directors (Messrs. Robertson and Andrews) and one
related director (Mr. D. Wolfin). It is intended that the compensation committee
will eventually be comprised of solely unrelated directors.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Corporate Governance Committee</I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The corporate governance
committee assists the board in establishing the Company&#146;s corporate governance
policies and practices generally, identifying individuals qualified to become
members of the board, reviewing the composition and functioning of the board and
its committees and making recommendations to the board of directors as
appropriate. When considering nominees to the board the committee&#146;s mandate
requires that it consider the current composition of the board and give
consideration to candidates having experience in the industry, life experience
and background. The committee is also responsible for the Company&#146;s corporate
governance guidelines. The committee may retain legal or other advisors.</P>

principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to the holding and
disposition of common shares in the capital of the Company by a United States
resident, and who holds common shares solely as capital property, referred to as

<I>Income Tax Act</I> (Canada), referred to as the "Tax Act", the regulations
thereunder, all amendments thereto publicly proposed by the government of
Canada, the published administrative practices of Revenue Canada, Customs,
Excise and Taxation, and the current provisions of the <I>Canada-United States
Income Tax Convention, 1980</I>, as amended, referred to as the "Treaty". Except
as otherwise expressly provided, this summary does not take into account any
provincial, territorial or foreign (including without limitation, any United
States) tax law or treaty. It has been assumed that all currently proposed
amendments will be enacted substantially as proposed and that there is no other
relevant change in any governing law or practice, although no assurance can be
given in these respects.</P>

pay a Canadian withholding tax on every dividend that is or is deemed to be paid
or credited to the U.S. Holder on the U.S. Holder's common shares. The statutory
rate of withholding tax is 25% of the gross amount of the dividend paid. The
Treaty reduces the statutory rate with respect to dividends paid to a U.S.
Holder for the purposes of the Treaty. Where applicable, the general rate of
withholding tax under the Treaty is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend, but

Company is required to withhold the applicable tax from the dividend payable to
the U.S. Holder, and to remit the tax to the Receiver General of Canada for the
account of the U. S. Holder.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the Tax Act, a U.S.
Holder will not be subject to Canadian capital gains tax on any capital gain
realized on an actual or deemed disposition of a common share, including a
deemed disposition on death, provided that the U.S. Holder did not hold the
common share as capital property used in carrying on a business in Canada, and
that neither the U.S. Holder nor persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal

<P align=justify><I>Passive Foreign Investment Company</I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company believes that it is a
passive foreign investment company, referred to as a "PFIC" for United States
federal income tax purposes with respect to a United States Investor. The
Company will be a PFIC with respect to a United States Investor if, for any
taxable year in which such United States Investor held the Company's shares,
either (i) at least 75 % of the gross income of the Company for the taxable year
is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the Company's assets are attributable
to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. In each
case, the Company must take into account a pro-rata share of the income and the
assets of any company in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or
more of the stock by value (the "look-through" rules). Passive income generally
includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than rents and royalties
derived from the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a
related person), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. As
a publicly traded corporation, the Company would apply the 50% asset test based
on the value of the Company's assets.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because the Company believes it
qualifies as a PFIC, unless a United States Investor who owns shares in the
Company (i) elects (a section 1295 election) to have the Company treated as a
"qualified electing fund", referred to as a "QEF" (described below), or (ii)
marks the stock to market (described below), the following rules apply:</P>

<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A shareholder that makes a
section 1295 election will be currently taxable on his or her pro-rata share of
the Company's ordinary earnings and net capital gain (at ordinary income and
capital gain rates, respectively) for each taxable year of the Company,
regardless of whether or not distributions were received. The shareholder's
basis in his or her shares will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed
income. Distributions of income that had previously been taxed will result in a
corresponding reduction of basis in the shares and will not be taxed again as a
distribution to the shareholder.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A shareholder may make a section
1295 election with respect to a PFIC for any taxable year of the shareholder
(shareholder's election year). A section 1295 election is effective for the
shareholder's election year and all subsequent taxable years of the shareholder.
Procedures exist for both retroactive 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 the consent of the Commissioner.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the shareholder makes the
section 1295 election for the first tax year of the Company as a PFIC that is
included in the shareholder's holding period, the PFIC 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 both the non-QEF and QEF
regimes. Certain elections are available which enable shareholders to convert an
unpedigreed QEF into a pedigreed QEF thereby avoiding such dual application.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A 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.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because the Company's stock is
"marketable" under section 1296(e), a United States Investor may elect to mark
the stock to market each year. In general, a PFIC 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 </P>

<P align=justify>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 market PFIC stock later than the beginning of the shareholder's holding
period for the PFIC stock.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Special rules apply with respect
to the calculation of the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to
excess distributions by a PFIC or inclusions under a QEF.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Controlled Foreign Corporations</I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections 951 through 964 and
Section 1248 of the <I>Internal Revenue Code</I>, referred to as the "Code",
relate to controlled foreign corporations, referred to as "CFCs". A foreign
corporation that qualifies as a CFC will not be treated as a PFIC with respect
to a shareholder during the portion of the shareholder's holding period after
December 31, 1997, during which the shareholder is a 10% United States
shareholder and the corporation is a CFC. The PFIC provisions continue to apply
in the case of a PFIC that is also a CFC with respect to shareholders that are
less than 10% United States shareholders.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 10% United States
shareholders of a CFC are subject to current United States tax on their pro-rata
shares of certain income of the CFC and their pro-rata shares of the CFC's
earnings invested in certain United States property. The effect is that the CFC
provisions may impute some portion of such a corporation's undistributed income
to certain shareholders on a current basis and convert into dividend income some
portion of gains on dispositions of stock, which would otherwise qualify for
capital gains treatment.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company does not believe that
it will be a CFC. It is possible that the Company could become a CFC in the
future. Even if the Company were classified as a CFC in a future year, however,
the CFC rules referred to above would apply only with respect to 10%
shareholders.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Personal Holding Company/Foreign Personal Holding
Company/Foreign Investment Company</I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A corporation will be classified
as a personal holding company, or a "PHC", if at any time during the last half
of a tax year (i) five or fewer individuals (without regard to their citizenship
or residence) directly or indirectly or by attribution own more than 50% in
value of the corporation's stock and (ii) at least 60% of its ordinary gross
income, as specially adjusted, consists of personal holding company income
(defined generally to include dividends, interest, royalties, rents and certain
other types of passive income). A PHC is subject to a United States federal
income tax of 39.6% on its undistributed personal holding company income
(generally limited, in the case of a foreign corporation, to United States
source income).</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A corporation will be classified
as a foreign personal holding company, or an "FPHC", and not a PHC if at any
time during a tax year (i) five or fewer individual United States citizens or
residents directly or indirectly or by attribution own more than 50% of the
total combined voting power or value of the corporation's stock and (ii) at
least 60% of its gross income consists of foreign personal holding company
income (defined generally to include dividends, interest, royalties, rents and
certain other types of passive income). Each United States shareholder in a FPHC
is required to include in gross income, as a dividend, an allocable share of the
FPHC's undistributed foreign personal holding company income (generally the
taxable income of the FPHC, as specially adjusted).</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A corporation will be classified
as a foreign investment company, or an "FIC", if for any taxable year it: (i) is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a management
company or share investment trust or is engaged primarily in the business of
investing or trading in securities or commodities (or any interest therein); and
(ii) 50% or more of the value or the total combined voting power of all the
corporation's stock is owned directly or indirectly (including stock owned
through the application of attribution rules) by United States persons. In

<P align=justify>taxable income (determined under United States tax principles
as specially adjusted) to its shareholders, gain on the sale or exchange of FIC
stock is treated as ordinary income (rather than capital gain) to the extent of
such shareholder's ratable share of the corporation's earnings and profits for
the period during which such stock was held.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company believes that it is
not and will not be a PHC, FPHC or FIC. However, no assurance can be given as to
the Company's future status.</P>
<P align=justify><I>United States Information Reporting and Backup
Withholding</I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends are generally subject
to the information reporting requirements of the Code. Dividends may be subject
to backup withholding at the rate of 31% unless the holder provides a taxpayer
identification number on a properly completed Form W-9 or otherwise establishes
an exemption.</P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The amount of any backup
withholding will not constitute additional tax and will be allowed as a credit
against the United States Investor's federal income tax liability.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Filing of Information Returns</I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under a number of circumstances,
a United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file
an information return. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the
owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will
be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply and
United States Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these
requirements.</P>

<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The weaknesses and their related
risks are not uncommon in a company the size of Avino because of limitations in
size and number of staff. The Company believes it has taken initial steps to
mitigate these risks by consulting outside advisors and involving the Audit
Committee and Board of Directors in reviews and consultations where necessary.
However, these weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting could
result in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement would not
be prevented or detected. The Company believes that it must take additional
steps to further mitigate these risks by consulting outside advisors on a more
regular and timely basis.</P>

<P align=justify>We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Avino Silver
&amp; Gold Mines Ltd. as at December 31, 2007 and January 31, 2007 and the
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, deficit, and
accumulated other comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the eleven-month period
ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended January 31, 2007. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.</P>
<P align=justify>We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.</P>
<P align=justify>In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at
December 31, 2007 and January 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the eleven-month period ended December 31, 2007 and the year
ended January 31, 2007 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles.</P>
<P align=justify>The statements of operations, deficit and cash flows for the
year ended January 31, 2006 were audited by another independent registered
public accounting firm which expressed an opinion without reservation on these
financial statements in its report dated May 31, 2006.</P>

<P align=justify>The standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) require the addition of an explanatory paragraph when the
financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial
doubt on the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those
described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders
dated April 25, 2008, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting
standards which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the
auditors&#146; report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial
statements. </P>

<P align=justify><B>NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS</B></P>
<P align=justify>Avino Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd. (the &#147;Company&#148; or &#147;Avino&#148;)
was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia,
Canada. The Company&#146;s principal business activities include the acquisition,
exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company owns interests in
mineral properties located in Durango, Mexico and in British Columbia and the
Yukon, Canada.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company is in the exploration stage and is in the process
of determining whether these properties contain ore reserves which are
economically recoverable.</P>
<P align=justify>The recoverability of amounts recorded as mineral properties
and related deferred costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically
recoverable reserves, maintenance of the Company&#146;s legal interests in its
mineral claims, obtaining further financing for exploration and development of
its mineral claims, re-development of its mining and processing operations and
commencement of future profitable production, or receiving proceeds from the
sale of all or an interest in its mineral properties.</P>
<P align=justify>These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going
concern, which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company will be required to
raise new financing through the sale of shares or issuance of debt to continue
with the exploration and development of its mineral properties. Although
management intends to secure additional financing, there can be no assurance
that management will be successful in its efforts to secure additional financing
or that it will ever develop a self-supporting business. These factors together
raise substantial doubt about the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going
concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. </P>
<P align=justify><B>NOTE 2 - CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END</B></P>
<P align=justify>During 2007, the Company changed its fiscal year end from
January 31<SUP>st</SUP> to December 31<SUP>st</SUP> to correspond to the
December 31<SUP>st</SUP> fiscal year end of the Company&#146;s Mexican operating
subsidiaries, which report on a calendar year basis. The effect of this change
resulted in a current fiscal period of eleven months ended December 31, 2007,
for the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, deficit
and accumulated other comprehensive income, while the comparative figures are
for twelve-month periods ended January 31<SUP>st</SUP>.</P>

      property, plant, equipment, and mineral properties is assessed for
      impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances

<P align=justify><B>NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF COMPANIA MINERA MEXICANA DE AVINO,
S.A. DE C.V. </B></P>
<P align=justify>On July 17, 2006 the Company acquired control of Compania
Minera Mexicana de Avino, S.A. de C.V. (&#147;Cia Minera&#148;) through the acquisition of
an additional 39.25% interest in Cia Minera which combined with the Company&#146;s
pre-existing 49% share of Cia Minera, brought the Company&#146;s ownership interest
in Cia Minera to 88.25% . The additional 39.25% interest in Cia Minera was
obtained through the acquisition of 76.88% of the common shares of Promotora
Avino S.A. De C.V. (&#147;Promotora&#148;) which in turn owns 49.75% of Cia Minera&#146;s
common shares, and the direct acquisition of 1% of the common shares of Cia
Minera.</P>
<P align=justify>The historic operations of Cia Minera involved the mining of
commercial grade ores which produced silver, gold and copper. This plant and
mine ceased operations in November 2001 due to low metal prices and the closure
of a smelter. The Company is evaluating the re-activation of the mine and has
commenced exploration activities on Cia Minera&#146;s mineral properties in the state
of Durango, Mexico (see Note 6).</P>
<P align=justify>The July 17, 2006 acquisition was accomplished by a share
exchange in which the Company issued 3,164,702 shares as consideration for the
purchase of the additional 39.25% interest in Cia Minera. The shares issued as
consideration were valued based on the July 17, 2006 closing market price per
share of $2.28. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and
these consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and
operations of these subsidiaries beginning on July 17, 2006, the date of
acquisition of control. The acquisition of the 39.25% interest described above
did not include an effective 1.1% interest to be acquired from an estate subject
to approval and transfer of the shares to the Company by the trustee for that
estate. On December 21, 2007 approval was received and the Company obtained the
1.1% interest from the estate for no additional consideration. As at December
31, 2007 the Company&#146;s ownership interest in Cia Minera is 89.35% .</P>
<P align=justify>The cost of the acquisition of Cia Minera was comprised as

interest. The non-controlling interest in Cia Minera&#146;s cumulative losses has

a valuation allowance, since the owners of the 10.65% minority interest in Cia
Minera do not have a demonstrated commitment towards funding their share of Cia
Minera&#146;s net losses. Accordingly, the non-controlling interest in the Cia Minera
operating losses recoverable are not recognized as an asset in these financial

<P align=justify>Prior to fiscal 2006, the Company had determined that it did
not have a commitment or obligation to Cia Minera and accordingly did not record
its equity interest in the losses of Cia Minera. During fiscal 2006 the Company
determined that it had a commitment to Cia Minera. Accordingly, it began to
recognize in operations its equity interest in the losses of Cia Minera. In
fiscal 2006, the Company recognized into operations its interest in previously
unrecorded equity losses of Cia Minera in the amount $342,596. During the year
ended January 31, 2007 the Company recognized a further $33,581 of equity losses
in Cia Minera, resulting in cumulative equity losses recognized of $376,177 in
Cia Minera prior to the acquisition of control on July 17, 2006 (see Note

private placement of 5,000,000 units at a price of $2.00 per unit, each unit

<P align=justify>The potential benefit of Canadian net operating tax loss
carry-forwards and other Canadian future income tax assets has not been
recognized in the financial statements since the Company cannot be assured that
it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future
years.</P>
<P align=justify>The future income tax liability presented in these consolidated
financial statements is due to the difference in the carrying amounts and tax
bases of the Mexican mineral properties, mine plant and equipment, which were
acquired in the purchase of Cia Minera (see Note 4). The carrying values of the
Mexican mineral properties, mine plant and equipment reflect the fair values
assigned on the acquisition of control of Cia Minera based on a share exchange,
while the tax bases of these assets are historical undeducted tax amounts that
were nil on acquisition. The future tax liability is attributable to assets in
the tax jurisdiction of Mexico and is presented net of Mexican tax losses
carried forward; and the $501,083 decrease in the future tax liability in fiscal
December 31, 2007 is presented as a recovery of Mexican tax losses on the income
tax provision table above. The approximate tax effects of each type of temporary
difference that gives rise to future income tax liabilities are as follows:</P>

<P align=justify><B>NOTE 18 - COMPARATIVE FIGURES</B></P>
<P align=justify>Certain fiscal January 31, 2007 and 2006 comparative figures
have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation
adopted for period ended December 31, 2007. These reclassifications do not
affect the net loss or closing deficit of the comparative figures. </P>
<P align=justify><B>NOTE 19 &#150; LITIGATION SETTLEMENT</B></P>
<P align=justify>The Company&#146;s subsidiary Cia Minera leases four core mineral
claims in consideration for royalties. The lessor had contested the underlying
royalty agreement, and had filed a legal action claiming royalties were owed
from years prior to the Company&#146;s acquisition of control of Cia Minera. An
amicable settlement was negotiated during the period ended December 31, 2007
whereby the Company settled the dispute at a cost of $1,497,604 (settlement
denominated in USD$1,500,000). The $1,497,604 amount, less a prior year accrual
of $738,302 is recorded in litigation settlement expense. The Company paid a
$1,398,457 (USD$1,400,000) portion of the settlement and the $99,130 balance
owing (USD$100,000) is recorded in accounts payable, which is to be repaid
during the Company&#146;s 2008 year-end. </P>
<P align=justify><B>NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS</B></P>
<P align=justify>The Company entered into a cost sharing agreement dated October
1, 1997, and amended November 1, 2003 to reimburse Oniva for a percentage of its
overhead expenses, to reimburse 100% of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred on
behalf of the Company, and to pay a percentage fee based on the total overhead
and corporate expenses. The agreement may be terminated with one-month notice by
either party. Transactions and balances with Oniva are disclosed in Note 15.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company has a contractual minimum drilling commitment for
the exploration of its mineral properties in Durango, Mexico. As at December 31,
2007 the Company is committed to drilling services at an estimated cost of
$286,949 (services denominated in USD$290,405). Management expects that the
Company&#146;s drilling services requirement in fiscal 2008 will likely exceed the
minimum commitment amount.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company has also entered into an agreement in which monthly
operating services will be performed through to September 2008 in Durango,
Mexico at a total committed cost of $66,913 (services denominated in
USD$67,500).</P>
<P align=justify><B>NOTE 21 - MISAPPROPRIATION LOSS</B></P>
<P align=justify>During fiscal December 31, 2007, the Company incurred a
misappropriation loss of MXN$930,000 (CAD$86,155) as a result of a fraudulent
disbursement initiated by an unknown third party who was able to access the
Company&#146;s Mexican bank account. The Company&#146;s legal representative and the
Mexican authorities are attempting to retrieve the funds, however there is no
guarantee that these funds will be recovered and the Company has fully provided
for this loss. The Company has taken stringent steps as a result of this loss
including the use of another bank&#146;s services and has added additional internal
controls over banking transactions to prevent the reoccurrence of such a loss in
the future. </P>
<P align=justify><B>NOTE 22 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS</B></P>
<P align=justify>Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Company granted incentive
stock options to purchase up to 600,000 common shares at a price of $1.65 per
share to certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company.
The incentive stock options are exercisable on or before February 26, 2013.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company also amended the terms of the warrants issued
pursuant to a private placement announced on January 25, 2006. The amendment
extends the expiry date of 2,498,750 warrants from March 20, 2008 to March 20,
2009.</P>

      (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued SFAS No. 161, <I>Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
      and Hedging Activities &#150; an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133. </I>SFAS
      No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative
      instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to
      enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's
      financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are
      required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity
      uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related
      hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related
      interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged
      items affect an entity&#146;s financial position, financial performance, and
      cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
      years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.
      The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its
      financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected
      to have a material effect on the Company&#146;s financial statements.</P></TD></TR>

      <P align=justify>In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards
      Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), <I>Business
      Combinations</I>. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) establishes principles and
      requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in
      its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
      assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement
      also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired
      in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to
      enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
      financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007)
      applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition
      date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
      beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is
      not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported

      reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and

      disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair
      value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
      accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
      measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements
      that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any
      new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective
      for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November
      15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a

      uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first
      evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not
      recognition threshold and, second, measuring that tax position to
      determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial
      statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions
