operated continuously in Mexico since 1968, a period in which the Avino Mine
operated for 27 years. During our long history, we have weathered a number of
difficult economies. While the current market clearly presents challenges, our
cash position of approximately C$3.3 million puts us in a strong position for
continued growth and our goal of bringing the mine back into production. We will
continue to invest aggressively in exploration and development.</font></div>
