Disclosure of disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers [line items]          
Terms of agreement   Subsequent to December 31, 2017, an option agreement was signed between Avino and Alexco Resource Corp. (“Alexco”), granting Alexco the right to acquire a 65% interest in 14 quartz mining leases located in the Mayo District, Yukon Territory, Canada, known as the “Eagle Property”      
Description for exercise of the option   To exercise the option, Alexco must pay Avino a total of $70,000 in instalments over 4 years, issue Avino a total of 70,000 Alexco common shares in instalments over 4 years, incur $550,000 in exploration work by the second anniversary of the option agreement date, and a further $2.2 million in exploration work on the Eagle Property by the fourth anniversary of the option agreement date

If either company elects to not contribute its share of costs, then its interest will be diluted.
