(ASM: TSX/NYSE American, GV6: FSE) </strong>a long-standing silver producer in Mexico<strong>, </strong>is pleased to share the outlook for 2025 alongside a summary of its key achievements in 2024. </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&#8220;Strong operating results from the Avino Mine, coupled with a record-breaking financial performance in the fourth quarter, have set the stage for 2025 to be another successful year for Avino,&#8221; stated David Wolfin, President and CEO. &#8220;Many major milestones for our company were achieved for 2024 including the release of the Pre-Feasibility Study for the Oxide Tailings Project, which demonstrated positive economic results that continue to improve with the current metal prices. We secured a long-term land-use agreement with the local community early in 2024 at La Preciosa which led to the completion of surface works, and construction of outbuildings, and hauling and processing the surface stockpiles at our Avino Mill. Equipment required for the development of the underground ramp was secured. The year ended with the receipt of all required permits and the commencement of development. As we begin 2025, we are thrilled to continue delivering on our growth plan by bringing La Preciosa into production!

In addition, the Company has planned a drill program at the Guadalupe Vein, which is one of the many underexplored low sulphidation epithermal silver, gold, lead zinc veins on the Avino property. It has shown to be similar in thickness and orientation to the higher-grade San Gonzalo vein that has previously been in production. Finally, additional regional exploration has been budgeted for targets around both Avino and La Preciosa.

Avino produced 735,557 silver equivalent ounces in Q4 2024, representing a 32% increase from Q4 of 2023 and a 10% increase compared to the previous quarter. The increase was driven by improved gold grades and increased mill throughput. </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>Mill Throughput Increased 26%</strong>: The Company processed 181,733 tonnes in Q4 2024, a 26% increase compared to Q4 2023, and the highest quarter in the Company&#8217;s history. </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>Gold Production Increased 76%</strong>: Q4 2024 production of 2,560 gold ounces represented a 76% increase compared to Q4 2023 and was our highest quarter of gold production in 2024.

This was despite an unscheduled production stoppage in June following the breakdown of our primary crusher. The mill crew did an excellent job in finding solutions to limit down time. Without this stoppage, production is estimated to have been closer to 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces, the upper end of our guidance range. The positive movement was primarily due to improved copper and silver grades, improved copper recoveries, and higher mill feed compared to 2023. Full year production results were within our production estimate of 2.5 to 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces, even after adjusting for changes in metal prices throughout 2024. Silver equivalent production for the year would have been 2.73 million silver equivalent ounces using original budget metal prices, at the upper end of our production estimate range. </p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <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 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;">February 6, 2025 - Avino Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:center;">Avino Provides 2025 Outlook and Highlights 2024 Achievements</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:center;">Page 3</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>Health and Safety Performance Improvements:</strong> The Company achieved a reduction in Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate (&#8220;LTIFR&#8221;) of 32% for 2024 to 3.39 per 1,000,000 hours worked, while seeing an increase in hours worked by 47% at the Avino operations.

The Company&#8217;s silver, gold and copper production remains unhedged. The Company intends to maintain long term sustainable and profitable mining operations to reward shareholders and the community alike through our growth at the historic Avino Property and the strategic acquisition of the adjacent La Preciosa which was finalized in Q1 2022. Avino currently controls mineral resources, as per NI 43-101, with a total mineral content of 371 million silver equivalent ounces, within our district-scale land package. Early in 2024, the pre-feasibility Study on the Oxide Tailings Project was completed. This study is a key milestone in our growth trajectory. As part of Avino&#8217;s commitment to adopting sustainable practices, we have been operating a dry-stack tailings facility for more than one year now with excellent results. We are committed to managing all business activities in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner, while contributing to the well-being of the communities in which we operate.

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">Neither 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.<em> </em></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 id="del_uc0597b40-5305-4381-8f0a-5f6ed4cc534e">Footnotes:</u></strong></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;"><em>1.
