With San Gonzalo reaching the end of its current resources in Q4 2019 and mining halted, we ended the year closer to the lower end of expectations. Operationally, we faced a few lost days of production during upgrades to the crusher, labour negotiations due to the transition of work from San Gonzalo, and heavy seasonal rain. On a positive note, we were able to increase throughput in Q3 2019 and improve recoveries during Q3 and Q4, stated David Wolfin, President and CEO. &#8220;In December, the Company closed the sale of Bralorne Gold Mines to Talisker Resources Ltd. for total cash and other consideration of close to $29 million, which has improved our financial position. The cost cutting initiatives in place during 2019 served us well, and we will continue to keep costs controlled to maintain financial health which is vital to the Company&#8217;s continued success.

Exploration targets may not be limited to these four areas, and during the year our priority targets may change if geological interpretations on other areas present enhanced opportunity. We plan to provide detailed information on our exploration targets in the coming months. </p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">In addition to the exploration budget, plant improvements have been approved for the following areas:</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify"><b><i>Dry Stack Tailings </i></b></p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">Avino has been exploring the potential of dry stack tailings for its permitted tailings storage facility which we refer to as TSF #2. We continue to explore this potential through operational visits to existing dry stack facilities in the area, as well as requests for quotations from various vendors and suppliers. We have also sourced a contractor familiar with dry stack tailings construction that is well known to the Company.

We will look to make the same improvements in Circuit 4 this year. The equipment has been ordered and is expected on site early in Q2 2020 and operational shortly thereafter. </p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">It is expected that sustaining capital expenditures for 2020 will be US$2.0 - $3.0 million.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">Avino&#8217;s longevity demonstrates a commitment to maintaining our mission, vision and values.
