Commitment to Sustainability and Future Growth in Mining Operations

David Wolfin, President and CEO, and Nathan Harte, CFO of Avino Silver and Gold Mines (TSX:ASM – NYSE:ASM), both join me for a video review of the key metrics and takeaways from the record Q2 2025 financials and operations.  Then we take a deeper dive into the future grade-driven growth from the development of the La Preciosa Mine, slated to have initial production begin ramping up in Q4 of this year. 

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights (compared to Q2 2024)

• Robust Revenues: Avino realized revenues of $21.8 million, representing a 47% increase from $14.8 million, primarily as a result of increased metal prices and consistent production.
• Quarterly Profits: Net income after taxes was $2.9 million, or $0.02 per share, an increase from $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share.
• Operating Margins Remain Elevated: Gross profit, or mine operating income, was $10.2 million and represented an increase of 118% from $4.8 million.
• Strong EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings: The Company realized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of $7.4 million, up 118% from $3.4 million. Adjusted earnings3 was $8.8 million, or $0.06 per share, an increase of 103% from $4.3 million and $0.03 per share.
• Improved Costs per Ounce Metrics: Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold1,2,3 was $15.11, and all-in sustaining cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold1,2,3 was $20.93, a reduction of 7% and 8%, respectively.
• Increased Working Capital from Cash Flow: The Company’s balance sheet continued to strengthen with working capital1 increasing to $40.6 million, up $9.2 million, or 30% from $31.3 million at the end of Q1 2025, as a result of another quarter of cash generation.
• Index Inclusion in Q2 2025: Early July, Avino was included in the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index having been officially recognized as part of a global benchmark for the mining sector. In addition, as announced on May 1, 2025, Avino received inclusion into the Solactive Global Silver Miners Index, further solidifying Avino as an established silver producer with a growing production profile. Avino expects further index inclusion in the coming months, which should provide additional liquidity and opportunities for increasing institutional ownership.

2nd Quarter Operating Highlights (Compared to Q2 2024)

• Silver Equivalent Production Increased 5%:Avino produced 645,602 silver equivalent ounces in Q2 2025, representing a 5% increase from Q2 of 2024. This increase was driven by significantly improved mill availability, with the highest quarterly mill throughput in history.
• Record Mill Throughput: In Q2 2025, Avino achieved 36% higher mill throughput versus Q2 2024, totalling a quarterly record of 190,987 tonnes of material.
• Gold Production Increased 17%: Q2 2025 production of 1,774 gold ounces represented a 17% increase compared to Q2 2024. This improved production resulted from the increased tonnes processed, alongside significant improvements in gold recoveries to 74% from 70% in Q2 of 2024.
• Copper Production Increased 12%: Avino produced 1.5 million pounds of copper in Q2 2025, a 12% increase compared to Q2 2024.
• Silver Production decreased 3%:Silver production for Q2 2025 was 283,619 ounces, representing a 3% decrease compared to Q2 2024.

La Preciosa Update

Blasting and construction of the relatively short 360 meter San Fernando main access decline is underway, and equipment mobilization has been swift, allowing development to advance on plan. The new jumbo drill is working on this ramp as it progresses toward intercepting the Gloria and Abundancia veins.

Wrapping up we cover the Company’s 5-year production growth plan, to become a Mexican intermediate silver producer, with the development of both the La Preciosa Project in 2025 leading to meaningful production growth in 2026 and 2027, and then the Tailings Project augmenting production and costs starting in 2028.
