<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"><b>Avino Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM: TSX.V, ASM: NYSE American, GV6: FSE, &#8220;Avino&#8221; or &#8220;the Company&#8221;) </b>is pleased to announce that plans have been finalised for an 8,000 metre drill program to commence early January, 2018, at its Bralorne Gold Mine located near Gold Bridge, British Columbia. </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">On November 14, 2017, the Company announced the receipt of an approved Permit Amendment to the Mines Act Permit M207, see news release, http://www.avino.com/i/pdf/nr/2017-11-14-nr-asm.pdf. The area of drilling is within the recently approved Permit Amendment, with drilling to be completed under Deemed Authorization. </p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The program will consist of 8,000 metres of drilling, and will focus on 9 gold-bearing veins containing existing resources as defined in the NI 43-101 Updated Resource Estimate completed in October, 2016. This program is designed to delineate additional resources above the 800 level in the vicinity of previously reported gold resources. The program has been designed by Bralorne's independent consultant with the assistance of Bralorne geologists. This program will also include two geotechnical holes to provide information for the engineering design of the proposed new tunnel on the 800 level.</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">This drill program will be aimed at both identifying additional resources and increasing the confidence in existing resources, in advance of a revised resource update.</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&#8220;I am very pleased to commence this planned drill program. We have been focused on returning this historical gold mine into production since acquiring the Bralorne Gold Mine in 2014. This drill program and the receipt of the Amended Permit in November, are important steps that bring us closer to achieving our plans for the Bralorne Gold Mine.&#8221;</p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">To ensure that no culturally sensitive artifacts are removed or destroyed, the drill program will be run in accordance with our Chance Find Procedure. All ground disturbances will be overseen by a Cultural Heritage Resource Monitor, provided by the Lillooet Tribal Council, who has the ability to halt work in the area if anything of significance is discovered.

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release and the dates of technical reports, as applicable. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the future circumstances, outcomes or results anticipated in or implied by such forward-looking statements will occur or that plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur.

<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">Cautionary Note to United States Investors - The information contained herein and incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. In particular, the term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserve". The Securities Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards, unless such information is required to be disclosed by the law of the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation or of a jurisdiction in which its securities are traded. U.S. investors should also understand that "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Disclosure of "contained ounces" is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.</p>
