The drill results support the continuation of the extensive Avino vein system. We delivered an 11% increase in revenue, an improvement in earnings, and maintained consistent silver equivalent production levels. Avino is celebrating its 50th year in the mining industry, and this would not be possible without the support and dedication of our teams in both Canada and Mexico.&#8221;</i></p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The Company generated revenues of $33.4 million during 2017; an 11% increase compared with 2016, due to the Avino Mine entering into production at levels intended by management effective April 1, 2016, and were partially offset by lower silver prices in the period. In 2015, and the first quarter of 2016, the Avino mine was in the evaluation phase and proceeds from the sale of Avino Mine Concentrate were classified as a recovery of exploration and evaluation expenditures. Higher copper prices were also a contributing factor to the increased revenue in 2017.</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">Mine operating income was $11.4 million during 2017, an increase of $0.5 million or 4% from $10.9 million in 2016. During 2017, net income increased by $1.2 million to $2.7 million or $0.05 basic and diluted per share, compared to net income of $1.5 million or $0.04 basic and $0.03 diluted per share during 2016. The primary reason for the increase is the addition of revenue from the Avino Mine. </p>

Copper production increased by 47% during the 4<sup>th</sup> quarter. Over the year, gold production increased by 42%, copper by 4% and silver by 2%.</p>

This represents a 26% decrease compared to 2016, and was mainly due to lower tonnage of San Gonzalo mill feed being processed using Mill Circuit 2. In 2017, Mill Circuit 2 was primarily used for processing Avino Mine material, whereas in 2016, there were some months when this Circuit was used to process San Gonzalo material in addition to Mill Circuit 1.</p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"><b>Bralorne Mine</b></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">During the year, the Company completed its review of potential scenarios for developing a long term mine operating plan. The original phased plan was for the future start-up of a small tonnage operation, and during the course of work being completed, our site management identified ground and safety issues in the existing 800 level portal. It was determined that the 800 level portal needed rehabilitative work, and consultants were engaged to review and develop a plan for the repairs. In view of the proposed repairs, which would have restricted mine throughput, the consultant&#8217;s recommendations were to construct a new portal on the 800 level, due to the age and limiting size of the original main access tunnel. The future construction of a new 800 portal should allow earlier access to the resources below the 800 level.</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">In November, the Company received an approved Permit Amendment from The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (&#8220;MEMPR&#8221;). The Permit Amendment provides a comprehensive and responsible permit, which is updated to modern environmental and permitting standards, and is an important step in the Company&#8217;s strategic plan to re-open the Bralorne Gold Mine. With the receipt of this modern permit, the Company anticipates an easier and quicker transition to an amended permit that would allow for future expansion. A surface drilling program is underway, and an underground drill program is being planned to update and increase the confidence in the current resource base.</p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><i>First Nations Education, Training &amp; Engagement, and Collaboration</i></b></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">In 2017, Avino continued the underground mining training for members of the St&#8217;at&#8217;imc communities, and the third training program with North Island College was completed in February 2018 in Pemberton, B.C. In addition to the training program through North Island College, Avino has been working with the Center for Training Excellence in Mining, the BC government, Thompson Rivers University, New Gold, Seabridge Gold and Sandvik, amongst others, on the development of the curriculum for a new accredited underground mining training program aligned with the Mining Industry Human Resources Council&#8217;s Canadian Mining Certification Program.</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">During 2017, Avino announced the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent (&#8220;LOI&#8221;) with St&#8217;at&#8217;imc Eco-Resources to recognize the opportunity for collaboration and the establishment of joint ventures to allow the St&#8217;&#225;t&#8217;imc First Nations (the &#8220;St&#8217;&#225;t&#8217;imc&#8221;) to economically participate in the development and ongoing operations of the Bralorne Gold Mine project.

<p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">The financial results in this news release include references to cash flow per share, cash cost per silver equivalent ounce, and all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent ounce, each of which are non-IFRS measures. Cash flow per share, cash cost per ounce, and all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce are measures developed by mining companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard of performance. However, there can be no assurance that our reporting of these non-IFRS measures is similar to that reported by other mining companies. Cash flow per share, cash cost per silver equivalent ounce, and all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent ounce are measures used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company&#8217;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 the prescribed IFRS measures provided in the Company&#8217;s financial statements and MD&amp;A.</p>
