Silver equivalent for January through March was calculated using a 55:1 ratio
for silver to gold. For the months of October, November and December, a 50:1
ratio was used in the calculation. (The ratio was changed to reflect more
current gold and silver prices.) Mill production figures have not been
reconciled and are subject to adjustment with concentrate sales. Year-to-date
and calculated figures may not add up due to rounding.
1. Feed grade for silver during Q1 2013 increased by 19.3% over Q4 2012
2. Feed grade for gold during Q1 2013 increased by 24% over Q4 2012
3. Bulk concentrate grades for silver and gold increased by 17% and 19.3%
respectively during Q1 2013 as compared to Q4 2012
4. The above resulted in a 24.1% and 26.2% increase in silver and gold
production respectively.
Production numbers from March and the first six months at San Gonzalo, as well
as 2013 yearly totals are reported as follows:

(i)Year to date average
Silver equivalent for January through March was calculated using a 55:1 ratio
for silver to gold. For the months of October, November and December, a 50:1
ratio was used in the calculation. (The ratio was changed to reflect more
current gold and silver prices.) Mill production figures have not been
reconciled and are subject to adjustment with concentrate sales. Year-to-date
and calculated figures may not add up due to rounding.
March Highlights
-- Total silver equivalent ounces in March increased by 16.7% over
February.
-- The increase was due to the higher tonnage processed, improved silver
recovery of 83%, and the better gold feed grade of 1.4 g/t.
-- Tonnage processed was higher than February because of 2 additional
operational days.
-- Silver concentrate grade was slightly lower in March and resulted in
more tonnage of concentrate produced. However, the gold grade in the
concentrate increased due to the higher gold grade in the feed and the
improved gold recovery.
-- During the month, two truckloads of concentrate were shipped and sold;
the balance of the concentrate produced in March will be shipped in
April.
-- Stockpiled inventory near the crushing facility increased to an
estimated 13,674 from 12,610 tonnes in March.
Processing Facility Update
Activation of circuit 2 (see news release dated March 04, 2013) is well
underway. The new 250 tpd circuit is expected to be tested in mid-April and will
initially be used to process existing historic Avino mine stock piles left on
the surface during our previous operation prior to 2001.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Mill assays are performed at the lab onsite at the mine. Check samples are
verified by SGS laboratory Services in Durango, Mexico. Concentrate shipments
are assayed at AH Knight in Manzanillo, Mexico.
Qualified Person(s)
Avino's projects are under the supervision of Chris Sampson, P.Eng, BSc, ARSM
Avino Consultant and Mr. Jasman Yee P.Eng, Avino director, who are both
qualified persons within the context of National Instrument 43-101. Both have
reviewed and approved the technical data in this news release.

within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our belief as to the extent
and timing of various studies including the PEA, and exploration results, the
potential tonnage, grades and content of deposits, timing and establishment and
extent of resources estimates. These forward-looking statements are made as of
the date of this news release and the dates of technical reports, as applicable.
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

could cause events or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such factors and assumptions include, among others, the effects of general
economic conditions, the price of gold, silver and copper, changing foreign
exchange rates and actions by government authorities, uncertainties associated
with legal proceedings and negotiations and misjudgments in the course of
preparing forward-looking information. In addition, there are known and unknown
risk factors which could cause our actual results, performance or achievements
to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Known risk factors

Cautionary Note to United States Investors - The information contained herein
and incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of
United States securities laws. In particular, the term "resource" does not
equate to the term "reserve". The Securities Exchange Commission's (the "SEC")
disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information
concerning "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" or
"inferred mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of
mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute "reserves" by SEC
standards, unless such information is required to be disclosed by the law of the
Company's jurisdiction of incorporation or of a jurisdiction in which its
securities are traded. U.S. investors should also understand that "inferred
mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and
great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Disclosure of
"contained ounces" is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however,
the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not
constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without
reference to unit measures.
