With noted improvement to mill throughput of 18% in the quarter compared to Q4 2023, the operations team was instrumental in achieving an overall silver equivalent production increase of 13%. We have started milling an old stockpile from La Preciosa for metallurgical compatibility testing.&#8221; said David Wolfin, President and CEO of Avino. &#8220;We also look forward to receiving approval of the environmental permits for La Preciosa and being able to commence construction of the portal, haulage ramp, leading to mining of the Gloria and Abundancia veins. La Preciosa factors prominently into our 5-year growth plan and will deliver economic growth and benefit to the local communities in Durango. With the recent move up in silver price, the outlook for Avino looks more robust.&#8221;</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;"></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:center;">April 17, 2024 &#8211; Avino Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd. &#8211; News Release</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:center;">Avino Achieves Strong Production in Q1 2024</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:center;">Page 2</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"><strong>2024 First Quarter Highlights</strong></p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;text-align:left;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="width:4%;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td style="width:4%;vertical-align:top;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"><font style="font-family:symbol">&#183;</font></p></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong>Production In line with Expectations:</strong> Silver equivalent production of 629,302 ounces is within our guidance range and the Company remains on track with our targeted full year production of 2.5M to 2.8M silver equivalent ounces.</p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 30px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p></td> <td> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:symbol">&#183;</font></p></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong>La Preciosa: </strong>On<u> February 28, 2024</u>, the Company provided an update on recently completed and ongoing work in connection with La Preciosa.

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. While we have based these forward-looking statements on our expectations about future events as at the date that such statements were prepared, the statements are not a guarantee that such future events will occur and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which could cause events or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">All reserve and resource estimates reported by Avino were estimated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (&#8220;CIM&#8221;) Definition Standards. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) now recognizes estimates of &#8220;measured mineral resources,&#8221; &#8220;indicated mineral resources&#8221; and &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; and uses new definitions of &#8220;proven mineral reserves&#8221; and &#8220;probable mineral reserves&#8221; that are substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. However, the CIM Definition Standards differ from the requirements applicable to US domestic issuers. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any &#8220;measured mineral resources,&#8221; &#8220;indicated mineral resources,&#8221; or &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; that the Issuer reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, &#8220;inferred mineral resources&#8221; are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade are estimated on the basis of limited geologic evidence and sampling. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Neither the TSX nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong><u>Footnotes:</u></strong></p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;text-align:left;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="width:4%;vertical-align:top;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"><em>1.</em></p></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>In Q1 2024, AgEq was calculated using metal prices of $23.36 per oz Ag, $2,072 per oz Au and $3.83 per lb Cu.
