1st Quarter 2024 Highlights

La Preciosa Update:

On February 28, 2024, the Company provided an update on recently completed and ongoing work in connection with La Preciosa. Capital costs for 2024 are expected to be between US$3.0 – US$4.0 million and will include surface works and equipment procurement intended for the first phase of mine development for the Gloria and Abundancia veins. Avino already has the mining equipment necessary to commence operations at La Preciosa. The application for the Environmental Permit has been submitted by the Company to the relevant authorities. A further permit application will be submitted shortly after receipt of the Environmental Permit, which is required to commence the construction of the portal, haulage ramp, and the mining of the Gloria and Abundancia veins.

On January 9, 2024, the Company announced that it had signed a long-term land-use agreement with a local community for the development of La Preciosa in Durango, Mexico. La Preciosa hosts one of the largest undeveloped primary silver resources in Mexico and is located approximately 19 kilometres from the current Avino Mine production operations.

Consistent Production at Avino:

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 2.5 to 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces.

Oxide Tailings Project

On February 5, 2024, the Company released the results of the Preliminary Prefeasibility Study (the “PSF”) prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standard for Disclosure for Mineral Projects with NPV US$98 million (pre-tax) and US$61 million (post-tax) at a 5% discount rate, IRR 35% (pre-tax) and 26% (post-tax), proven and probable mineral reserves of 6.7 Million tonnes at a silver and gold grade of 55 g/t and 0.47 g/t respectively, nominal processing rate over a 9-year life of mine. The completion of the study is a milestone in our 5-year growth plan to become an intermediate silver producer in Mexico.

Dry Stack Tailings Facility:

With the rearrangement of our handling of tailings as a result of the completed dry-stack tailings facility, which has been in use for over a year, the prior method of wet tailings deposition is no longer in use. A tab is now available on our website that provides further information on our tailings management system, along with a video (in Spanish) from the minesite that can be viewed. In addition, a selection of short videos of the facility in operation can be viewed under Videos and Media.

Revenues

The Company recognized revenues of $12.4 million on the sale of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate, compared to $9.8 million revenues for Q1 2023, an increase of $2.6 million.

The increase is a result of higher payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period of 610,877 ounces, compared to 506,727 ounces in Q1 2023, an increase of 21%.

Metal prices for revenues recognized during the period were $23.14 per ounce of silver, $2,066 per ounce of gold, and $8,384 per tonne of copper, with comparable prices for Q1 2023 were $23.29 per ounce of silver, $1,878 per ounce of gold, and $8,992 per tonne of copper.

Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income

Cost of sales was $10.1 million, compared to $8.0 million in Q1 2023, an increase of $2.1 million. The increase is mainly attributable to a stronger Mexican peso during the current quarter, with an average of 17.01 Mexican Pesos to 1 US dollar in Q1 2024 compared to an average of 18.68 Mexican Pesos to 1 US dollar in Q1 2023, a difference of 10%. Further increases in cost of sales is partially attributable to 6% higher processed & milled tonnes in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023, which resulted in higher overall overhead costs despite similar ounces sold in the two comparable quarters.

Mine operating income, after depreciation and depletion, was $2.3 million, compared to $1.9 million in Q1 2023. The increase in mine operating income is a result of the items noted above, and partially due to provisional pricing adjustments described in the consolidated financial statements.

General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments

General and administrative expenses was $1.3 million, compared to $1.2 million in Q1 2023. This is in line with expectations, demonstrating another consistent quarter in managing administrative expenses.

Share-based payments was $0.4 million, compared to $0.3 million in Q1 2023, consistent with prior quarter, and as a result of the vesting of previously issued options and restricted share units.

Other Items

Other Items totaled a gain of $0.1 million for the period, a change of $0.7 million compared to a loss of $0.7 million related to other items in Q1 2023.

Unrealized gain on long-term investments was $0.1 million, a positive movement of $0.5 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million in Q1 2023. This is a direct result of fluctuations in the Company’s investment in shares of Talisker Resources, as well as the Company’s investment in shares of Silver Wolf Exploration and Endurance Gold.

Fair value adjustment on warrant liability was $Nil compared to a gain of $0.3 million in Q1 2023. The fair value adjustment on the Company’s warrant liability relates to the issuance of US dollar-denominated warrants, which are re-valued each reporting period, and the value fluctuates with changes in the US-Canadian dollar exchange rate, and in the variables used in the valuation model, such as the Company’s US share price, and expected share price volatility. All US dollar-denominated warrants expired in September 2023, thus there is no adjustment for Q1 2024.

The remaining net impact of Other Items resulted in no further gain or loss, a positive movement of $0.2 million when compared to a further loss of $0.1 million in Q1 2023.

Current and Deferred Income Taxes

Current income tax expense of $0.2 million in Q1 2024, compared to Nil in income tax expense for Q1 2023, remains fairly consistent. The movement relates primarily to movements in the calculation of the Special Mining Duty tax that applies to mining profits generated in Mexico.

Deferred income tax recovery was $0.1 million, a change of $0.1 million compared to Nil in Q1 2023. Deferred income tax fluctuates due to movements in taxable and deductible temporary differences related to changes in inventory, plant, equipment and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets, amongst other factors. The changes in current income taxes and deferred income taxes during the current and comparable periods primarily relate to movements in the tax bases and mining profits and/or losses in Mexico.

Net Income/Loss

Net income was $0.6 million for the period, or $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.00 per share during Q1 2023. The changes are a result of the items noted above, which are primarily increases in revenues, cost of sales, mine operating income and movements in the fair value adjustment of the long-term investments and unrealized foreign exchange. The remain items were consistent, showing no significant variances as noted above.

EBITDA & Adjusted Income/Loss (see “Non-IFRS Measures”)

EBITDA was $1.7 million, an increase of $1.4 million when compared to $0.3 million for Q1 2023. The changes in EBITDA are primarily a factor of the items above, excluding any changes in depreciation and depletion, changes in interest expense and income, as well as any changes in income taxes. See Non-IFRS Measures for a reconciliation for EBITDA.

Adjusted earnings for the period was $2.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $1.1 million in the corresponding quarter in 2023. Changes to adjusted earnings are a result of the items noted above in EBITDA, further excluding share-based payments, gains and losses related to warrants, and movements in unrealized foreign exchange. See Non-IFRS Measures for a reconciliation for adjusted earnings.

Cash Costs & All-in Sustaining Cash Costs (see “Non-IFRS Measures”)

Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce was $14.89, compared to $14.22 for Q1 2023. The increase in cost per ounce is a result of higher tonnes processed in Q1 2024 when compared to Q1 2023, primarily due to lower mill recoveries in the current quarter, stemming from lower feed grades, primarily in gold. The increase is also attributable to a stronger Mexican peso during the quarter, which directly impacted labour and contractor costs.

All-in sustaining cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce was $20.23, compared to $20.17 for Q1 2023. The increases mentioned from the items above were primarily offset by reductions in penalties, with no significant difference between the comparable quarter in sustaining capital and exploration costs.

See Non-IFRS Measures for a reconciliation for cash costs and all-in sustaining cash costs.

Under National Instrument 43-101, the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI 43-101-compliant reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments, or feasibility studies, and historically projects without such reports have increased uncertainty and risk of economic viability. The Company's decision to place a mine into operation at levels intended by management, expand a mine, make other production-related decisions, or otherwise carry out mining and processing operations is largely based on internal non-public Company data, and on reports based on exploration and mining work by the Company and by geologists and engineers engaged by the Company. The results of this work are evident in the Company's discovery of the San Gonzalo and Avino Mine resources, and in the Company's record of mineral production and financial returns since operations at levels intended by management commenced at the San Gonzalo Mine in 2012.

Qualified Person(s)

Peter Latta, P.Eng, MBA, Vice President, Technical Services, Avino, is a qualified person within the context of National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the technical data in this document.

Non – IFRS Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted earnings

Earnings, or loss, before interest, taxes and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a non IFRS financial measure which excludes the following items from net earnings:

| · | Income tax expense
| · | Finance cost
| · | Amortization and depletion

Adjusted earnings excludes the following additional items from EBITDA

| · | Share based compensation;
| · | Non-operational items including foreign exchange movements, fair value adjustments on outstanding warrants and other non-recurring items

Management believes EBITDA and adjusted earnings provides an indication of continuing capacity to generate operating cash flow to fund capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. These measures are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts. There are not standardized definitions under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

Adjusted earnings excludes share-based payments, and non-operating or recurring items such as foreign exchange gains and losses and fair value adjustments on outstanding warrants. Under IFRS, entities must reflect within compensation expense the cost of share-based payments. In the Company’s circumstances, share-based compensation can involve significant amounts that will not be settled in cash but are settled by issuance of shares in exchange. The Company discloses adjusted earnings to aid in understanding the results of the Company.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings in the financial statements to EBITDA and adjusted earnings:

Cash Cost and All-in Sustaining Cash Cost per Silver Equivalent Payable Ounce

The following tables provide a reconciliation of cost of sales from the consolidated financial statements to cash cost and all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent payable ounce sold. In each table, “silver equivalent payable ounces sold” consists of the sum of payable silver ounces, gold ounces and copper tonnes sold, before penalties, treatment charges, and refining charges, multiplied by the ratio of the average spot gold and copper prices for the corresponding period.

Cash cost per payable ounce and all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce are measures developed by mining companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard. However, there can be no assurance that our reporting of these non-IFRS measures is similar to that reported by other mining companies. Total cash cost per payable ounce and all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce are measures used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company’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 as issued by the IASB, and are disclosed in addition to IFRS measures.

Cash cost per payable ounce

Management believes that the Company’s ability to control the cash cost per payable silver equivalent ounce is one of its key performance drivers impacting both the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Achieving a low silver equivalent production cost base allows the Company to remain profitable from mining operations even during times of low commodity prices, and provides more flexibility in responding to changing market conditions. In addition, a profitable operation results in the generation of positive cash flows, which then improve the Company’s financial condition.

The Company’s calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $306 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (year ended December 31, 2023 - $1,041) and all of which is attributable to the Avino Mine.

To facilitate a better understanding of these measures as calculated by the Company, detailed reconciliations between the non-IFRS measures and the Company’s consolidated financial statements are provided below. The non-IFRS measures presented are intended to provide additional information, and should not be considered in isolation nor should they be considered substitutes for IFRS measures. Calculated figures may not add up accurately due to rounding.

During Q1 2024, revenue was consistent when compared to Q3 and Q4 2023 quarters, as a result of slightly higher realized silver and gold metal prices and higher silver equivalent ounces sold. When compared to Q4 2022, revenues were lower due to lower ounces sold. The increased revenues and ounces sold in Q4 2022 were due to better than expected grades in mining production and recoveries in the mill process, thus resulting in higher overall ounces sold.

Net income and earnings per share in Q1 2024 was positive, and in line with Q4 2023. Quarters prior to those two were inconsistent due to timing of concentrate shipments, as well as movements in non-operational items such as unrealized gain/loss on investments, as well as fair value adjustments on the Company’s warrant liability, which expired in Q3 2023. For further details see “Financial Results” section.

Total assets have increased overall when compared to previous quarters, as result of the acquisition of La Preciosa as well as operating and financing cash flow generation, and capital investment in the operation.

Quarterly results will fluctuate with changes in revenues, cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, including non-cash items such as share-based payments, and other items including foreign exchange and deferred income taxes. These fluctuations are mainly caused by market conditions such as fluctuations in metal prices, currency fluctuations as well as variations in mineralization of the zones mined.

Cash Flow

(000’s) |  | March 31, 2024 |  |  | March 31, 2023 |
Cash generated by operating activities |  | $ | 2,347 |  |  | $ | 448 |
Cash generated by (used in) financing activities |  |  | 392 |  |  |  | (166 | )
Cash used in investing activities |  |  | (1,967 | ) |  |  | (8,839 | )
Change in cash |  |  | 772 |  |  |  | (8,557 | )
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash |  |  | 14 |  |  |  | 9 |
Cash, beginning of period |  |  | 2,688 |  |  |  | 11,245 |
Cash, end of period |  | $ | 3,474 |  |  | $ | 2,697 |

Operating Activities

Cash generated by operating activities for the three month ended March 31, 2024, was $2.3 million, an increase of $1.9 million compared to $0.4 million used for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cash movements from operating activities can fluctuate with changes in net income and working capital movements. In Q1 2024, cash generated from operating activities increased primarily due to higher mine operating income as a result of higher levels of production activities and ounces sold. Other movements are primarily a result of working capital changes between the two periods.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.2 million used for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The movement is a result of proceeds from shares issued on the ATM, partially offset by higher payments of lease and equipment loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company received net proceeds from issuance of shares for cash of $0.9 million (March 31, 2023 – $0.2 million). The Company also made lease and equipment loan payments totalling $0.5 million (March 31, 2023 - $0.4 million).

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $2.0 million compared to $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cash used in investing activities included $2.0 million (March 31, 2023 - $3.8 million) spent on the acquisition of property and equipment and exploration expenditures, as well as $5.0 million related to the repayment of the promissory note associated with the acquisition of La Preciosa during the three months ended March 31, 2023, with no comparable payment in the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash, in both the short term and the long term, to maintain existing capacity and to fund ongoing exploration, is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves or resources and the ability of the Company to continue with sustainable and profitable mining operations.

Management expects that the Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements will be funded from cash generated from current operations and from further financing, as required, in order to fund ongoing exploration activities, and meet its objectives, including ongoing advancement at the Avino Mine. The Company continues to evaluate financing opportunities to advance its projects. The Company’s ability to secure adequate financing is, in part, dependent on overall market conditions, the prices of silver, gold, and copper, and other factors.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

The Company’s recent financing activities are summarized in the table below.

Intended Use of Proceeds | Actual Use of Proceeds
During 2024, the Company received net proceeds of $0.9 million in connection with a brokered at-the-market offering issued under prospectus supplements. | As of the date of this MD&A, the Company has used the funds as intended.

Financial Instruments and Risks

The fair values of the Company’s amounts due to related parties and accounts payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, amounts receivable, long-term investments, and warrant liability are recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s equipment loans, and finance lease obligations are a reasonable approximation of their fair values based on current market rates for similar financial instruments.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.

(a) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash, long-term investments and amounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and short-term investments, by maintaining the majority of cash and short-term investments at highly rated financial institutions.

13 | Page

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

The Company is exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its trade accounts receivable balance because all of its concentrate sales are with three (December 31, 2023 – two) counterparties. However, the Company has not recorded any allowance against its trade receivables because to-date all balances owed have been settled in full when due (typically within 60 days of submission) and because of the nature of the counterparties.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of any period is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets as recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. At March 31, 2024, no amounts were held as collateral.

(b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company had cash at March 31, 2024, in the amount of $3,474 and working capital of $9,785 in order to meet short-term business requirements. Accounts payable have contractual maturities of approximately 30 to 90 days, or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. The current portions of note payable and finance lease obligations are due within 12 months of the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position date. Amounts due to related parties are without stated terms of interest or repayment.

The maturity profiles of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as at March 31, 2024, are summarized as follows:

|  | Total |  |  | Less Than 1 Year |  |  | 1-5 years |  |  | More Than 5 Years |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities |  | $ | 10,713 |  |  | $ | 10,713 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
Minimum rental and lease payments |  |  | 5,652 |  |  |  | 214 |  |  |  | 1,292 |  |  |  | 4,146 |
Equipment loans |  |  | 341 |  |  |  | 184 |  |  |  | 157 |  |  |  | - |
Finance lease obligations |  |  | 2,962 |  |  |  | 1,734 |  |  |  | 1,228 |  |  |  | - |
Total |  | $ | 19,668 |  |  | $ | 12,845 |  |  | $ | 2,677 |  |  | $ | 4,146 |

(c) Market Risk

Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further below.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

| (i) | To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.
| (ii) | To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rates on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

14 | Page

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

In management’s opinion, the Company is not materially exposed to interest rate risk, as any material debt obligations that bear interest are fixed and not subject to floating interest rates. A 10% change in the interest rate would not a result in a material impact on the Company’s operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars:

|  | March 31, 2024 |  |  | December 31, 2023 |
|  | MXN |  |  | CDN |  |  | MXN |  |  | CDN |
Cash |  | $ | 8,108 |  |  | $ | 252 |  |  | $ | 13,338 |  |  | $ | 70 |
Due from related parties |  |  | 5,643 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 4,558 |  |  |  | - |
Long-term investments |  |  | - |  |  |  | 1,414 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 1,236 |
Reclamation bonds |  |  | - |  |  |  | 6 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 6 |
Amounts receivable |  |  | 3,042 |  |  |  | 20 |  |  |  | 18,644 |  |  |  | 26 |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities |  |  | (78,884 | ) |  |  | (145 | ) |  |  | (95,662 | ) |  |  | (150 | )
Due to related parties |  |  | - |  |  |  | (195 | ) |  |  | - |  |  |  | (135 | )
Finance lease obligations |  |  | (800 | ) |  |  | (179 | ) |  |  | (1,129 | ) |  |  | (217 | )
Net exposure |  |  | (62,891 | ) |  |  | 1,173 |  |  |  | (60,251 | ) |  |  | 836 |
US dollar equivalent |  | $ | (3,767 | ) |  | $ | 865 |  |  | $ | (3,567 | ) |  | $ | 577 |

Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at March 31, 2024, a 10% fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024, by approximately $298. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its amounts receivable, as certain trade accounts receivable are recorded based on provisional terms that are subsequently adjusted according to quoted metal prices at the date of final settlement. Quoted metal prices are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control and are subject to volatility, and the Company does not employ hedging strategies to limit its exposure to price risk. At March 31, 2024, based on outstanding accounts receivable that were subject to pricing adjustments, a 10% change in metals prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $106.

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its long-term investments, as these investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Changes in market prices result in gains or losses being recognized in net income (loss). At March 31, 2024, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $105.

The Company’s profitability and ability to raise capital to fund exploration, evaluation and production activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in mineral prices. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

(d) Classification of Financial Instruments

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2024:

|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |
Financial assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Cash |  | $ | 3,474 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |

Commitments

The Company has a cost sharing agreement to reimburse Oniva for a percentage of its overhead expenses, to reimburse 100% of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and to pay a percentage fee based on Oniva’s total overhead and corporate expenses. The agreement may be terminated with one-month notice by either party. Transactions and balances with Oniva are disclosed in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company and its subsidiaries have various operating lease agreements for their office premises, use of land, and equipment. Commitments in respect of these lease agreements are as follows:

Not later than one year |  | $ | 214 |  |  | $ | 714 |
Later than one year and not later than five years |  |  | 1,292 |  |  |  | 1,241 |
Later than five years |  |  | 4,146 |  |  |  | 3,965 |
|  | $ | 5,652 |  |  | $ | 5,920 |

Office lease payments recognized as an expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024, totalled $10 (March 31, 2023 - $4).

Subsequent Events

At-The-Market Sales – Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company issued 1,256,000 common shares in at-the-market offerings under prospectus supplement for gross proceeds of $993.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Cautionary Note regarding Reserves and Resources

National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators, lays out the standards of disclosure for mineral projects. This includes a requirement that a certified Qualified Person (“QP”) (as defined under the NI 43-101) supervises the preparation of the mineral reserves and mineral resources. Peter Latta, Vice President, Technical Services is a certified QP for the Company and has reviewed this MD&A for QP technical disclosures. All NI 43-101 technical reports can be found on the Company’s website at www.avino.com or under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources

This MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws applicable to U.S. companies. Information concerning our mineral properties has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ in respects from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to domestic United States issuers. Accordingly, the disclosure in this MD&A regarding our mineral properties may not be comparable to the disclosure of United States issuers subject to the SEC’s mining disclosure requirements.
