1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company” or “Avino”) was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of silver, gold, and copper and the acquisition, exploration, and advancement of mineral properties.

The Company’s head office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada (except for the province of Quebec) and the United States, and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the NYSE American, and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges.

The Company operates the Elena Tolosa Mine (“ET Mine” or “Avino Mine”) which produces copper, silver and gold at the historic Avino property in the state of Durango, Mexico. The Avino property also hosts the San Gonzalo Mine, which is currently on care and maintenance. The Company also holds 100% interest in Proyectos Mineros La Preciosa S.A. de C.V. (“La Preciosa”), a Mexican corporation which owns the La Preciosa Property. The Company also owns interests in mineral properties located in British Columbia and Yukon, Canada.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2023, annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in US dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting on a going concern basis. The accounting policies set out in the December 31, 2023 annual consolidated financial statements are applied consistently to all periods presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as if the policies have always been in effect.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in US dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting on a going concern basis. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements as if the policies have always been in effect.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.

---

Foreign operations

Subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than the US dollar translate their statement of operations items at the average rate during the year. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange rate variations resulting from the retranslation at the closing rate of the net investment in these subsidiaries, together with differences between their statement of operations items translated at actual and average rates, are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). On disposition or partial disposition of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of related exchange difference is recognized in the statement of operations.

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies to the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the preparation of financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of the impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period from uncertain future events and on the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Basis of Consolidation

The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Mexican subsidiaries as follows:

Subsidiary Ownership Interest Jurisdiction Nature of Operations
Oniva Silver and Gold Mines S.A. de C.V. 100 % Mexico Mexican administration
Nueva Vizcaya Mining, S.A. de C.V. 100 % Mexico Mexican administration
Promotora Avino, S.A. de C.V. (“Promotora”) 79.09 % Mexico Holding company
Compañía Minera Mexicana de Avino, S.A. de C.V.<br><br>(“Avino Mexico”) 98.45% direct<br><br>1.22% indirect (Promotora)<br><br>99.67% effective Mexico Mining and exploration
La Luna Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. 100 % Canada Holding company
La Preciosa Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. 100 % Canada Holding company
Proyectos Mineros La Preciosa S.A. de C.V. 100 % Mexico Mining and exploration
Cervantes LLP 100 % U.S. Holding company

Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(a) Avino , Mexico

The Company’s subsidiary Avino Mexico owns 42 mineral claims and leases four mineral claims in the state of Durango, Mexico. The Company’s mineral claims in Mexico are divided into the following two groups:

(i) Avino Mine area property

The Avino Mine area property is situated around the towns of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de Avino and surrounding the historic Avino mine site. There are four exploration concessions covering 154.4 hectares, 24 exploitation concessions covering 1,284.7 hectares, and one leased exploitation concession covering 98.83 hectares. Within the Avino Mine site area is the Company’s San Gonzalo Mine, which achieved production at levels intended by management as of October 1, 2012, and on this date accumulated exploration and evaluation costs were transferred to mining properties.

(ii) Gomez Palacio/Ana Maria property

The Ana Maria property is located near the town of Gomez Palacio, and consists of nine exploration concessions covering 2,549 hectares, and is also known as the Ana Maria property.

Option Agreement – Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. (formerly Gray Rock Resources Ltd.) (“Silver Wolf”)

On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement to grant Silver Wolf the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest in the Ana Maria and El Laberinto properties in Mexico (the “Option Agreement”).

All exploration expenditure requirements on the properties have been met as of March 31, 2024, and Silver Wolf is in compliance with the terms of the Option Agreement.

The Option Agreement between the Company and Silver Wolf is considered a related party transaction as the two companies have directors in common.

Unification La Platosa properties

The Unification La Platosa properties, consisting of three leased concessions in addition to the leased concessions situated within the Avino mine area property near the towns of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de Avino and surrounding the Avino Mine.

In February 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary entered into a new agreement with Minerales de Avino, S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales”) whereby Minerales has indirectly granted to the Company the exclusive right to explore and mine the La Platosa property known as the “ET zone”. The ET zone includes the Avino Mine, where production at levels intended by management was achieved on July 1, 2015.

Under the agreement, the Company has obtained the exclusive right to explore and mine the property for an initial period of 15 years, with the option to extend the agreement for another 5 years. In consideration of the granting of these rights, the Company issued 135,189 common shares with a fair value of C$250 during the year ended December 31, 2012.The Company has agreed to pay to Minerales a royalty equal to 3.5% of net smelter returns (“NSR”). In addition, after the start of production, if the minimum monthly processing rate of the mine facilities is less than 15,000 tonnes, then the Company must pay to Minerales a minimum royalty equal to the applicable NSR royalty based on the processing at a monthly rate of 15,000 tonnes.

Minerales has also granted to the Company the exclusive right to purchase a 100% interest in the property at any time during the term of the agreement (or any renewal thereof), upon payment of $8 million within 15 days of the Company’s notice of election to acquire the property. The purchase would be subject to a separate purchase agreement for the legal transfer of the property.

Valuation of stock options requires the use of estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility used in valuing stock options is based on volatility observed in historical periods. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the stock options was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions and resulting fair values:

March 31,<br><br>2024 December 31,<br><br>2023
Weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate 3.51 % 3.10 %
Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 %
Expected warrant life (years) 5 5
Expected stock price volatility 60.73 % 61.10 %
Expected forfeiture rate 15 % 17 %
Weighted average fair value C$ 0.43 C$ 0.60

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company charged $92 (three months ended March 31, 2023 - $62) to operations as share-based payments for the fair value of stock options granted.

(d) Restricted Share Units:

On April 19, 2018, the Company’s Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan was approved by its shareholders. The RSU Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Directors as compensation to officers, directors, consultants, and employees. The Compensation Committee determines the terms and conditions upon which a grant is made, including any performance criteria or vesting period.

Upon vesting, each RSU entitles the participant to receive one common share, provided that the participant is continuously employed with or providing services to the Company. RSUs track the value of the underlying common shares, but do not entitle the recipient to the underlying common shares until such RSUs vest, nor do they entitle a holder to exercise voting rights or any other rights attached to ownership or control of the common shares, until the RSU vests and the RSU participant receives common shares.

Continuity of RSUs is as follows:

Underlying<br><br>Shares Weighted Average Price (C)
RSUs outstanding, January 1, 2023 2,190,666
Granted 1,878,320
Exercised (1,005,334 )
Cancelled / Forfeited (68,943 )
RSUs outstanding, December 31, 2023 2,994,709
Exercised (585,265 )
RSUs outstanding, March 31, 2024 2,409,444

All values are in US Dollars.

All values are in US Dollars.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no RSUs (year ended December 31, 2023 – 1,878,320) were granted. For RSUs granted in 2023, the weighted average fair value at the measurement date was C$1.11, based on the TSX market price of the Company’s shares on the date the RSUs were granted.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company charged $331 (March 31, 2023 - $277) to operations as share-based payments for the fair value of the RSUs vested. The fair value of the RSUs is recognized over the vesting period with reference to vesting conditions and the estimated RSUs expected to vest.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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.

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, 2022 – two) counterparties (see Note 18). 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 current assets exceeded current liabilities by $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 finance lease obligations are due within 12 months of the consolidated 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<br><br>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.

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 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

IFRS 13 Financial Instruments: Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets 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 $ - $ -
Amounts receivable - 1,856 -
Long-term investments 1,043 - -
Total financial assets $ 4,517 $ 1,856 $ -

The Company uses Black-Scholes model to measure its Level 3 financial instruments. As at March 31, 2024 the Company’s has no Level 3 financial instruments.

18. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company reviews its segment reporting to ensure it reflects the operational structure of the Company and enables the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the Company’s CEO) to review operating segment performance. We have determined that each producing mine represents an operating segment, of which there is one as of March 31, 2024.

The Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $12,393 (March 31, 2023 - $9,825) are all attributable to Mexico, from shipments of concentrate produced by the Avino Mine, and is considered to be one single reportable operating segment.

1^st^  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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS<br> <br>FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS<br> <br>FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

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.

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.

7 Page
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS<br> <br>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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS<br> <br>FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

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,<br> <br>2024 March 31,<br> <br>2023

| Cash generated by operating activities | $ | 2,347 | | $ | 448 | |

| Cash generated by (used in) financing activities | | 392 | | | (166 | ) |

| 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<br> <br>FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024

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

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<br> <br>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<br> <br>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<br> <br>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.

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:

March 31,<br> <br>2024 December 31,<br> <br>2023

| 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 |
