Process material represents mineralized material that, at the time of extraction, the Company expects to process into a saleable form and sell at a profit, while waste is considered uneconomic to process and its extraction cost is included in direct mining costs. Raw materials are comprised of process material stockpiles. Process material is accumulated in stockpiles that are subsequently processed into bulk silver and gold concentrate in a saleable form. The Company has bulk silver and gold concentrate inventory in saleable form that has not yet been sold. Mine operating supplies represent commodity consumables and other raw materials used in the production process, as well as spare parts and other maintenance supplies that are not classified as capital items.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all costs incurred, based on normal production capacity, in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Cost of inventories comprises direct labor, materials and contractor expenses, depletion and depreciation on mining properties, plant and equipment, and an allocation of mine site costs. As mineralized material is removed for processing, costs are removed based on the average cost per tonne in the stockpile. Stockpiled process material tonnages are verified by periodic surveys.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">Net realizable value ("NRV") of mineralized material is determined with reference to relevant market prices less applicable variable selling expenses and costs to bring the inventory into its saleable form. NRV of materials and supplies is generally calculated by reference to salvage or scrap values when it is determined that the supplies are obsolete. NRV provisions are recorded within cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations, and are reversed to reflect subsequent recoveries where the inventory is still on hand.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><strong>Revenue recognition</strong></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue and costs to sell can be reliably measured.

A revision in estimates or new disturbance will result in an adjustment to the provision with an offsetting adjustment to the mineral property or the exploration and evaluation asset.

The terms of the agreement allowed Benz to earn a 75% interest by making total cash payments of $350,000, issuing 550,000 common shares, incurring exploration costs of $100,000, and drilling 35,000

Samsung pays for the concentrates at the prevailing metal prices for their silver, copper, and gold content at or about the time of delivery, less treatment, refining, shipping and insurance charges. Interest is charged on the facility at a rate of U.S. dollar LIBOR (3 month) plus 4.75%, and the facility will be repaid in 15 consecutive equal monthly instalments starting in June 2016. The facility is secured by the concentrates produced under the agreement and by the common shares of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. The facility with Samsung relates to the sale of concentrates produced from the Avino Mine only and does not include concentrates produced from the San Gonzalo Mine. </p></td></tr></table></b>&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><table id="9f44cc44-9a69-4bd1-9ae3-bcf29386fa8b" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt times new roman" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">    <tr><td valign="top" width="4%"><strong>14. </strong></td><td valign="top"><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><strong>RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES</strong></p></td></tr><tr height="15"><td valign="top"></td><td valign="top"></td></tr><tr><td><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td><td><p style="MARGIN: 0px">All related party transactions are recorded at the exchange amount which is the amount agreed to by the Company and the related party. </p></td></tr></table></b>&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><i><table id="ee02847d-f095-4ac3-adcb-ca3fb2bdd8ec" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt times new roman" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">    <tr><td valign="top" width="4%"></td><td valign="top" width="4%"><strong><em>(a) </em></strong></td><td><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><strong><em>Key management personnel</em></strong></p></td></tr><tr height="15"><td valign="top"></td><td valign="top"></td><td valign="top"></td></tr><tr><td><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td><td><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></td><td><p style="MARGIN: 0px">The Company has identified its directors and certain senior officers as its key management personnel.

For most of the year 2015, the Company allocated mill capacity to processing additional material from San Gonzalo and the Avino Mine, and therefore it didn't generate revenue from the historic Avino stockpiles. During the third quarter, material from both San Gonzalo and historic Avino stockpiles was delivered.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company also produced 9,058 dry tonnes of bulk silver/gold/copper concentrate from the Avino Mine.

Pursuant to the agreement, in August 2015 Avino commenced selling concentrates produced during ramp advancement and ongoing evaluation and extraction at the Avino Mine on an exclusive basis to Samsung for a period of 24 months, and Samsung made a payment of US$10,000,000 in respect of the facility. Samsung pays for the concentrates at the prevailing metal prices for their silver, copper, and gold content at or about the time of delivery, less treatment, refining, shipping and insurance charges. Interest is charged on the facility at a rate of U.S. dollar LIBOR (3 month) plus 4.75%, and the facility will be repaid in 15 consecutive equal monthly instalments starting in June 2016. The facility is secured by the concentrates produced under the agreement and by the common shares of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd.

As reported in the second quarter, the ramp advance was deferred (at 70 metres below level 7) in favor of using the mining equipment to advance levels 5, 6 and 6.5 laterally along the San Gonzalo structure to the East and West where new mineralized zones have been identified.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">Comparative figures for the 2015 and 2014 fourth quarters and years for the San Gonzalo mine are presented below. Mined material from San Gonzalo is primarily processed using Mill Circuit 1; however, during the months of September and October, mill feed from San Gonzalo was also processed using Mill Circuit 2. Mill Circuit 2 was also used to process San Gonzalo stockpile mill feed for five months in the first half of 2015. This additional production from Mill Circuit 2 is reflected in the production figures in the chart below.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><table

The Company's decision to place a mine into operation at levels intended by management, expand a mine, make other production-related decisions, or otherwise carry out mining and processing operations is largely based on internal non-public Company data, and on reports based on exploration and mining work by the Company and by geologists and engineers engaged by the Company. The results of this work are evident in the Company's discovery of the San Gonzalo resource, and in the Company's record of mineral production and financial returns since operations at levels intended by management commenced at the San Gonzalo Mine in 2012. This approach is being applied for the advancement of the Avino Mine project, for which similar risks and uncertainties have been identified.   <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><table id="pagebreak9ab8510f-5c1b-411d-a76b-fcf6cab46217" class="pagebreak" style="WIDTH: 100%; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">    <tr><td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: right">5 | Page</td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><table id="e546227d-d8ea-4191-be91-7575e461ee9b" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN; MARGIN: auto" cellspacing="0" cols="3" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center" border="0">    <tr><td width="8%"><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><img src="img001.jpg"></p></td><td valign="bottom"><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><strong><font size="4">AVINO SILVER &amp;</font></strong></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><strong><font size="4">GOLD MINES LTD.</font></strong></p></td><td valign="bottom"><p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="right"><b>MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS</b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="right"><b>FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015</b></p></td></tr></table><font size="2"><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><hr style="COLOR: #000000" noshade="">    <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p></font></font></i><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><font size="2">Avino Mine Production Highlights</font></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">Following two years of mine dewatering and rehabilitation of the haulage ramp, processing and underground activities began in the second quarter of 2014.

Processing at the designed throughput of 1,000 tonnes per day began on January 1, 2015.

During the months of July, August, November and December, Mill Circuit 2 was also used to process new material from the Avino Mine. Additionally, during the month of May, above ground stockpiles left from past mining of the Avino vein were processed using Mill Circuit 2; production from Mill Circuit 2 during the months listed above is reflected in the production figures. The comparison between the fourth quarter 2015 and the third quarter of 2015 is presented below, as the data from the fourth quarter of 2014 related to testing of material and equipment and is not

The Company's decision to place a mine into operation at levels intended by management, expand a mine, make other production-related decisions, or otherwise carry out mining and processing operations is largely based on internal non-public Company data, and on reports based on exploration and mining work by the Company and by geologists and engineers engaged by the Company. The results of this work are evident in the Company's discovery of the San Gonzalo resource, and in the Company's record of mineral production and financial returns since operations at levels intended by management commenced at the San Gonzalo Mine in 2012.

Construction to heighten the embankment dam began in August 2015 and was successfully completed in October 2015. This major project was necessary due to lack of freeboard from the unseasonably high temperatures and rainfall in December 2014. These events led management to suspend processing at the Bralorne mill facility due to concerns about the water level within the tailings storage facility. The Company plans to resume underground activities and mill processing in 2016 once permission to use the tailings storage facility has been granted by the Engineer of Record and the Ministry of Energy and Mines.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">During the year, a successful 32 hole, 7,793 meter surface diamond drill program was completed (see June 22, 2015 news release) and ongoing maintenance and improvements continued at the mill. Two new scoop trams were acquired from Sandvik as well as a new 966 loader from Caterpillar; an order has also been placed for a new Sandvik jumbo, and the search continues for additional equipment as part of Avino's commitment to modernize Bralorne's mining fleet. Strategic planning alternatives, including new mining methods tailored to the attributes of the Bralorne resource, are being evaluated.

In the statement of financial position for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred mine and camp costs of $20,171,792 at the Avino Mine, and reduced its accumulated exploration and evaluation costs by $21,501,272 from proceeds of concentrate sales from the Mine. </p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">Once an assessment of technical feasibility and commercial viability of the Avino Mine has been made and all necessary approvals for declaring production have been obtained, extracting and processing activities at the Avino Mine will be reported in the statement of operations and comprehensive income as mine operating income.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><u>Non &#8211; IFRS Measures </u></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px"><u>Cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce, and cash flow per share</u></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">Cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce, and cash flow per share are measures developed by mining companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard. However, there can be no assurance that our reporting of these non-IFRS measures is similar to that reported by other mining companies. Total cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce, and cash flow per share are measures used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company's mining operations, and are widely reported in the silver and gold mining industry as benchmarks for performance, but do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and are disclosed in addition to IFRS measures. </p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">Management of the Company believes that the Company's ability to control the cash cost per silver equivalent ounce is one of its key performance drivers impacting both the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Achieving a low silver equivalent production cost base allows the Company to remain profitable from mining operations even during times of low commodity prices, and provides more flexibility in responding to changing market conditions. In addition, a profitable operation results in the generation of positive cash flows, which then improves the Company's financial condition. </p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">The Company has adopted the reporting of "all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent ounce". This measure has no standardized meaning throughout the industry. However, it is intended to provide additional information. Avino presents all-in sustaining cash cost because it believes that it more fully defines the total current cost associated with producing a silver equivalent ounce. Further, the Company believes that this measure allows investors of the Company to better understand its cost of producing silver equivalent ounces, and better assess the Company's ability to generate cash flow from operations. Although the measure seeks to reflect the full cost per silver equivalent ounce of production from current operations, it does not include capital expenditures attributable to mine expansions, exploration and evaluation costs attributable to growth projects, income tax payments, and financing costs. In addition, the calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs does not include depreciation and depletion expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods. The Company's calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $nil for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, as substantially all of the mining equipment used at San Gonzalo and at the historic Avino stockpiles has been newly purchased or refurbished. The Company has planned for sustaining capital expenditures in future years in accordance with mine operating plans and expected equipment utilization levels. Although this measure is not representative of all of the Company's cash expenditures, management believes that it is a useful measure in allowing it to analyze the efficiency of its mining operations.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">The Company also presents cash flow per share as it believes it assists investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the Company's overall performance and its ability to generate cash flow from current operations. </p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">To facilitate a better understanding of these measures as calculated by the Company, detailed reconciliations between the non-IFRS measures and the Company's consolidated financial statements are provided below. The measures presented are intended to provide additional information, and should not be considered in isolation nor should they be considered substitutes for IFRS measures.
