<p style="margin: 0px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">On May 26, 2015, Avino Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Cantor Fitzgerald &amp; Co., as sales agent (&#8220;Cantor&#8221;), up to an aggregate of $6,000,000 of common shares, no par value per share (the &#8220;Shares&#8221;), under the Controlled Equity Offering<font style="font-size: 7pt;"><sup>SM</sup></font> Sales Agreement dated December 31, 2013 (the &#8220;Agreement). Under the Agreement, Cantor may sell Shares by any method deemed to be an &#8220;at-the-market&#8221; offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the NYSE MKT, on any other existing trading market for the Shares or to or through a market maker. In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and subject to the instructions of the Company, Cantor may sell Shares by any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated transactions.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering for the continued exploration of the Bralorne mine, advancing exploration and extracting and processing activities at the Avino property, and for working capital.&#160; Although we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for the foregoing purposes, the planned expenditures are estimates and may change significantly. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Cantor will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of the NYSE MKT, to sell the Shares from time to time based upon the Company's instructions, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">The Company will pay Cantor a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of Shares and has agreed to provide Cantor with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Cantor for certain legal fees and disbursements.&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">The opinion of the Company's counsel regarding the validity of the Shares that will be issued pursuant to the Agreement is also filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 60px;">The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company's previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-195144), the base prospectus dated April 16, 2014, and the prospectus supplement, dated May 26, 2015, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;). This Report on Form 6-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px;">&#160;&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">We have acted as British Columbia counsel for the Company, a British Columbia company. We are furnishing this opinion in connection with a prospectus supplement dated May 26, 2015 (the &#8220;Prospectus Supplement&#8221;), for the issuance of common shares, no par value per share, of the Company having an aggregate offering price of up to USD$6,000,000 (the &#8220;Shares&#8221;), pursuant to the Controlled Equity Offering<font style="font-size: 7pt;"><sup>SM</sup></font> Sales Agreement dated as of December 31, 2013 (the &#8220;Sales Agreement&#8221;) by and between the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald &amp; Co. (the &#8220;Agent&#8221;), a registration statement on Form F-3, Registration No. 333-195144 (the &#8220;Registration Statement&#8221;) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;Commission&#8221;) on April 9, 2014, the base prospectus dated April 16, 2014 (the &#8220;Base Prospectus&#8221;) and the Prospectus Supplement (together with the Base Prospectus &#8211; the &#8220;Prospectus&#8221;).</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter.&#160; As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a Certificate of Officers of even date (the &#8220;Officers&#8217; Certificate&#8221;) executed by the President &amp; Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary of the Company, respectively.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">We are qualified to carry on the practice of law in the Province of British Columbia. Our opinion below is expressed only with respect to the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. We express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">Our opinion is expressed with respect to the laws of the Province of British Columbia in effect on the date of this opinion.

<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">Our opinions expressed herein are based on the following assumptions:</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 60px;">(a) at or prior to the time of the delivery of the Shares, the Registration Statement has&#160; become effective under the <i>Securities Act</i> of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Act&#8221;), and such effectiveness will not have been terminated or rescinded;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 60px;">(b) the Shares will be offered, issued and sold in compliance with applicable United States Federal and State securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement&#160; and Prospectus; and</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 60px;">(c) the Company will have received the agreed upon consideration for the issuance of the Shares and such Shares will have been delivered by or on behalf of the Company against payment therefor.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof each Share, when issued, sold and delivered in the manner and for the consideration stated in the Sales Agreement upon payment of the consideration provided therein to the Company, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">This opinion letter has been prepared for your use in connection with the Registration Statement and is expressed as of the date hereof. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">&#160;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 30px;">We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption &#8220;Legal Matters&#8221; in the Prospectus.
