DRILLING RESULTS ON ET ZONE AT AVINO’S DURANGO MEXICO PROPERTY

Diamond core drilling resumed at Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.’s Durango property on Monday, January 7, 2008. There are currently two diamond core drill rigs from Tecmin Servicios, S.A. de C.V., one exploring the ET zone (Hole ET-08-01) the other on various exploration targets. These locations can be viewed on our website at www.avino.com

Results of holes SG-07-32 through 40 on the San Gonzalo zone have been released in a separate news release. Avino is now pleased to release results of the first 10 holes on the ET zone of the main Avino vein from which the Company mined gold, silver and copper ore from 1975 through 2001.

The hole locations can be viewed on our website both in plan and longitudinal section. The intersections shown are down the hole lengths. In each case the initial figure is the total intersection through the Avino vein. Also shown are significant intersections within the Avino vein. The complete intersection results for each hole are too numerous to be shown in this news release but can be viewed on our website.

ET-07-01    (Bearing 001 - Dip 69 - Length 298.6m)

Total Avino vein intersection: 216.35 – 293.65m (77.3m)

Significant intersection: 284.90 – 290.0m (5.1m), 0.055 g/t gold, 114 g/t silver (0.002oz/t gold, 3.32oz/ton silver), 8385 ppm copper.

Sample lengths of NQ drill core were diamond sawed into halves by mine staff and shipped to Inspectorate Labs in Durango, Mexicofor preparation into pulps and rejects. Pulps were analyzed at Inspectorate Labs in Sparks, Nevada. Gold and silver were analyzed by fire assay using Aqua Regia Leach and AA finish. Other elements are reported from a 29 element I.C.P. package.
