BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). 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, 2025 annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated 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 consolidated 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, 2026, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Basis of Consolidation
The 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<br><br>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.
3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that are effective for the current year:
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are either applicable in the current year or are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company adopted amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related amendments to IAS 7 Statement and of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, related to the settlement of financial assets and financial liabilities through electronic payment systems. The amendments clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities settled electronically and introduce and optional exception for certain electronic payment arrangements. We have assessed these amendments and the adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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<br><br><br><br>154.4 hectares, 24 exploitation concessions covering 1,284.7 hectares, and one leased exploitation concession covering 98.83 hectares. |
Unification La Platosa properties
The Unification La Platosa properties, consist 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.
b) La Preciosa, Mexico
La Preciosa is a development stage mineral property located in the state of Durango, Mexico, within the municipalities of Pánuco de Coronado and Canatlán. The Project is hosting one of the largest undeveloped primary silver resources in Mexico, and is located adjacent to Avino’s existing operations at the Avino Property in Durango, Mexico. The property covers an area of approximately 1,134 hectares and is located on the eastern flank of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range.
On April 1, 2025, the Company determined that La Preciosa had demonstrated technical feasibility and commercial viability to support the reclassification from the exploration and evaluation asset stage to the development stage and mining properties with plant, equipment and mining properties.
As such, the Company performed an assessment for impairment under IFRS 6 prior to reclassification. Management assessed whether or not the assets were impaired using a quantitative assessment of the recoverable value.
Based on these factors, all of the criteria required by IAS 36.10 have been met, and the Company determined that the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value, and no impairment was recorded.
8) NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
At March 31, 2026, the Company had an effective 99.67% (December 31, 2025 - 99.67%) interest in its subsidiary Avino Mexico and the remaining 0.33% (December 31, 2025 - 0.33%) interest represents a non-controlling interest. The accumulated deficit and current period income attributable to the non-controlling interest are insignificant and accordingly have not been presented separately in the consolidated financial statements.

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>2026 | December 31,<br><br>2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted average assumptions: | ||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.99 | % | 2.80 | % | ||
| Expected dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||
| Expected life (years) | 5 | 5 | ||||

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 AveragePrice (C) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RSUs outstanding, January 1, 2025 | 3,540,868 | |||

17) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of the Company’s amounts receivable not subject to provisional pricing, due to/from related parties and accounts payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, amounts receivable subject to provisional pricing, long-term investments are recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s deferred consideration payable, 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 two (December 31, 2025 – 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 consolidated statement of financial position. At March 31, 2026, 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, 2026, in the amount of $138,646 and current assets exceeded current liabilities by $139,724 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, 2026, are summarized as follows:
| Total | Less Than<br><br>1 Year | 1-5 years | More Than 5<br><br>Years | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MXN | CDN | MXN | CDN | |||||||||
| Cash | $ | 22,483 | $ | 2,814 | $ | 29,172 | $ | 1,710 | ||||

| Amounts receivable | 9,809 | 31 | 11,461 | 30 | ||||||||
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (61,583 | ) | (232 | ) | (73,792 | ) | (311 | ) | ||||
| Due to related parties | - | (135 | ) | - | (135 | ) | ||||||
| Finance lease obligations | (3,047 | ) | (402 | ) | (4,320 | ) | (430 | ) | ||||
| Net exposure | (28,234 | ) | 8,000 | (33,453 | ) | 6,560 | ||||||
| US dollar equivalent | $ | (1,558 | ) | $ | 5,738 | $ | (1,863 | ) | $ | 4,785 |
Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at March 31, 2026, 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, 2026, by approximately $366 (December 31, 2025 - $248). The Company has entered into certain foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, recorded a derivative asset of $190 (December 31, 2025 – derivative asset of $1,314).

| --- |
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, 2026, 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 $487 (December 31, 2025 - $743).
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, 2026, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $1,177 (December 31, 2025 - $384).
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, 2026:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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 at the mine operating income or loss level, as well as on the basis of total comprehensive income. Effective December 31, 2025, it was determined that the Company has two reportable operating segments, located in Mexico (Avino and La Preciosa). The Company also has a Corporate segment located in Canada. Revenues, cost of sales, operating expenses, other items and income taxes are attributed to the operation in which they arise. Segment results are presented net of intersegment transactions where services are performed on behalf of other segments within the Company. There are no amounts unallocated to reportable segments. Previously, the Company only had one reportable segment. Following this change in the composition of reportable segments, the Company has restated the corresponding segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The following table represents the statement of operations and other comprehensive income by segment:

These metal prices are based on the Company’s 2026 budget as approved by the Board of Directors, and previous periods have been recalculated using these prices for comparability purposes. Calculated figures may not add up due to rounding. |
|---|---|
| 2. | “Silver equivalent payable ounces sold” for the purposes of cash costs and all-in sustaining costs 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 to the average spot silver price for the corresponding period. |
| 3. | Non-IFRS Accounting Standard measure.

Our working capital position of $139.7 million and strong balance sheet will provide the foundation to support our transformational growth plan to become a Mexico-focused mid-tier primary silver producer. |
2026 Highlights
| · | Normal Course Issuer Bid Approval: On April 6, 2026, Avino announced that the TSX has accepted the Company’s Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “NCIB”) to repurchase for cancellation, up to an aggregate of 8,428,566 common shares, or approximately 5% of the Company issued and outstanding shares. |
|---|---|
| · | Inaugural Mineral Reserve Estimate at Avino & La Preciosa: On April 16, 2026, Avino announced the completion of a new Mineral Reserve Estimate and updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) which includes La Preciosa, the Avino Mine (consisting of the Elena Tolosa (“ET”) deposit, Guadalupe, and La Potosina) with an effective date of October 31, 2025. |
| · | Steady Progress at La Preciosa : Ongoing extraction, haulage, and processing of mineralized development material from La Preciosa was slightly below plan early in the quarter, primarily due to mill availability and the intentional processing of lower-grade development ore. This approach allowed the Company to capitalize on strong silver prices while leveraging previously stockpiled higher-grade material. |
| · | Enhanced Mill Throughput : In Q1 2026, Avino achieved an 11% increase in mill throughput year-over-year. This performance reflects the impact of targeted upgrades and automation initiatives led by our operations and maintenance teams, which have improved mill availability and supported higher, more consistent throughput levels. |
| · | Silver and Gold Production : Avino produced 568,112 silver equivalent^1^ ounces in Q1 2026, representing a slight decrease compared to Q1 2025. The decrease reflects planned mining sequencing into lower-grade areas, planned for the first quarter. Development production from La Preciosa contributed 49,830 silver ounces, slightly higher than Q4 2025. |

Operational Updates
Development – La Preciosa
During Q1 2026, development mining was ongoing on the north faces of both La Gloria and Abundancia veins with development ore being trucked to the mill for processing. Subsequent to Q1, development mining and haulages rates increased to allow for Mill Circuit 2 to switch from Avino ore to La Preciosa development ore, ahead of planned increases to La Preciosa processing throughput. Mine engineering was focused on the publication of reserves and resources mentioned above. Engineering efforts have now pivoted to mine planning scenario analysis to optimize the two deposits in parallel and determine maximum and optimum mining, processing and haulage rates. Work will be ongoing throughout the rest of the year.
Inaugural Mineral Reserve and Updated Mineral Resource Estimates
The Company released the details of most recent mineral reserve estimate and updated mineral resource estimate on April 16th, 2026. The highlights included inaugural proven and probable mineral reserves at two of the Company’s three assets, totaling 27 million tonnes containing 95 million ounces of silver at a grade of 109 g/t, 356 thousand ounces of gold at a grade of 0.41 g/t, and 85 million pounds of copper at a grade of 0.31%. This results to 127 million silver equivalent ounces at a grade of 145 g/t. The full news release can be viewed here. The mineral resources and reserves estimate are being included in an updated technical report (the “Updated Technical Report” prepared by Tetra Tech Canada Inc. in accordance with the requirements of NI-43-101), which will be available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under the Company’s profile and filed on Form 6-K with the SEC within 45 days.
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves, and all Mineral Resources reflect mining depletion through to October 31, 2025.

The mineral resource estimate and mineral reserve estimate above were prepared under the supervision of, or were reviewed by both Mr. Latta and Mr. O’Brien, both of whom are qualified persons within the context of NI 43-101.
Exploration & Confirmatory Drilling
At Avino, two drills were turning during the quarter. The first drill was focused on infill drilling in the upper area in the eastern portion of the system. The second drill at Avino was focused on extension drilling in the footwall breccia area in the upper east portion. At La Preciosa, two drills were also turning during the first quarter. The first drill rig focused on infill drilling on La Gloria and Abundancia. This will transition to extension drilling in subsequent quarters. The second drill rig was more focused on true exploration drilling and evaluating the relationship between Martha and the Eastern gap zones, with minimal drilling done in this area previously. An update from drilling at both properties and the four active drill rigs will be released in due course when results are received and compiled.
La Preciosa Drilling Highlights – Q1 2026
In January 2026, Avino announced the results of its most recent drill holes from La Preciosa, which were drilled to twin previous drilling. Assay results for the intercepts of the La Gloria and Abundancia veins were very positive and are shown in Table 1 below.
Selected Intercept Highlights:
| • | Hole PMLP 25-12: 585 g/t Ag and 0.65 g/t Au over 4.90 metres true width |
|---|
| o | including 2,218 g/t Ag and 1.92 g/t Au over 0.51 metres true width |
|---|
| • | Hole PMLP 25-14 at La Gloria: 694 g/t Ag and 0.63 g/t Au over 4.52 metres true width |
|---|
| o | including 2,275 g/t Ag and 1.28 g/t Au over 0.61 metres true width |
|---|
The variation of grades and thicknesses within relatively short distances (under 10 metres) compared with previously drilled intercepts were expected due to the “pinch and swell” geometry of the La Preciosa veins and the high nugget effects. The drill results exceeded grade expectations and verified the geometry of the current vein-based resource model. Higher grades intersected in the northern portion of the La Gloria Vein are expected to continue further to the North and warrant additional step-out drilling to potentially expand the mineral resource defined on the shallow La Gloria Vein.
Assays were received on fourteen (14) holes totalling approximately 3,500 metres drilled at La Preciosa during 2025, intersecting the La Gloria vein in all 14 holes, the Abundancia vein in 13 holes, and additional unnamed and splay veins in multiple holes. Assays were processed under Avino’s standard QA/QC program, with no indications of bias or contamination detected. Unlike the Avino Mine, the La Preciosa deposit contains no notable copper mineralization, so no copper values are reported.

Sampling and Assay Methods
Following detailed geological and geotechnical logging, selected drill core areas were cut in half. One half of the core was submitted to the SGS Laboratory facility in Durango, Mexico, and the other half was retained on-site for verification and reference. Gold is assayed by fire assay with an AA finish. Any samples exceeding 3.0 gold g/t are re-assayed and followed by a gravimetric finish. Multi-element analyses are also completed for each sample by SGS ICP14B methods. Silver is fire assayed with a gravimetric finish for samples assaying over 100 g/t. Avino uses a series of standard reference materials, blank reference materials, and duplicates as part of their QA/QC program during assaying.

Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized revenues of $39.4 million on the sale of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate and La Preciosa silver/gold concentrate, compared to $18.8 million revenues for 2025, an increase of $20.6 million. The increase is a result of higher average realized metal prices for silver, gold and copper for the period.
Metal prices for revenues recognized during the period were $86.42 per ounce of silver, $4,882 per ounce of gold, and $12,650 per tonne of copper, with comparable prices for Q1 2025 were $31.67 per ounce of silver, $2,866 per ounce of gold, and $9,194 per tonne of copper.
Payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period were 483,724 ounces, compared to 555,567 ounces in Q1 2025. Payable silver equivalent ounces sold were lower in the current period than previous periods as a result of higher silver prices impacting the silver:gold and silver:copper ratios used to calculate silver equivalent ounces.
Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cost of sales was $16 million, compared to $8.3 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $7.7 million. The increase is mainly attributable to higher depreciation as well as a stronger average Mexican Peso compared to the US Dollar during the current quarter, with an average of $17.56 Mexican Pesos to 1 US Dollar in Q1 2026 compared to an average of $20.43 Mexican Pesos to 1 US Dollar in Q1 2025, a strengthening of approximately 14%.
Mine operating income was $23.4 million, compared to $10.6 million in Q1 2025. The increase in mine operating income is a result of the items noted above as well as mark to market movements resulting from changes in metal prices and metal contents from provisional to final invoicing. Provisional adjustments had a negative impact of $2.6 million in Q1 2026 compared to a positive impact of $3.1 million in Q1 2025.
General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments
General and administrative expenses were $3.0 million, compared to $2.1 million in Q1 2025. The increase is a result of higher salaries and benefits primarily as a result of increase in operations and increased employee benefits and profit-sharing accruals from improved financial performance.
Share-based payments were $0.9 million, compared to $0.4 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $0.5 million. The increase is a direct result of the timing of option and RSU grants, and fluctuations in share price at the time of the grants.
Other Items
Gain on long-term investments was $0.6 million compared to $0.4 million in Q1 2025. This is a direct result of fluctuations in the Company’s investment in shares of Talisker Resources, as well as minor movements in the Company’s investment in shares of Silver Wolf Exploration and Endurance Gold.
Unrealized loss on derivative liability was $1.1 million compared to a gain of 0.4 million in Q1 2025. This is a direct result of US Dollar/Mexican Peso foreign exchange forward contracts entered into during the year to mitigate risks surrounding the Company of material foreign exchange movements that could cause the Company to incur material losses.
Foreign exchange gain for the period was $3.2 million compared to a loss of $0.1 million in Q1 2025. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the US dollar appreciated in relation to the Mexican Peso and the Canadian dollar, resulting in foreign exchange gains overall.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS<br> <br>FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 |
|---|
Current and Deferred Income Taxes
Current income tax expense was $6.9 million in Q1 2026, an increase of $4.9 million compared to an income tax expense of $2.0 million for Q1 2025. The movement relates primarily to additional taxable income in Avino due to increased profits, which resulted in increased income tax expense.
Deferred income tax expense was relatively flat for Q1 2026 compared to an expense of $1.2 million in Q1 2025. Deferred income taxes fluctuate 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
Net income was $15.9 million for the period, or $0.10 per basic and $0.09 diluted share, compared to net income of $5.6 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share for Q1 2025. The increase is a result of the items noted above, including increases in revenues, mine operating income, gain on long-term investments, gain on foreign exchange and interest income. The positive movements were partially offset by increases to current income tax expense.
EBITDA & Adjusted Income/Loss (see “Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures”)
EBITDA was $25.5 million for the period, an increase of $15.8 million when compared to $9.7 million for Q1 2025. 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 Accounting Standards Measures for a reconciliation for EBITDA.
Adjusted earnings for the period was $24.3 million, an increase of $14.5 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $9.8 million in the corresponding quarter in 2025. Changes to adjusted earnings are a result of the items noted above in EBITDA, further excluding share-based payments, unrealized gains and losses related to derivative liabilities, write-downs of equipment and movements in foreign exchange. See Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures for a reconciliation for adjusted earnings.
Cash Costs & All-in Sustaining Costs (see “Non-IFRS Accounting Standard Measures”)
Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $24.46, compared to $12.62 for Q1 2025. The increase is attributable to lower payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period than previous periods as a result of higher silver prices impacting the silver:gold and silver:copper ratios used to calculate silver equivalent ounces, as well as lower volumes sold of silver, gold and copper. Using the silver:gold and silver:copper ratios from the Company’s 2026 guidance, cash costs per AgEq payable ounce sold was $19.82
All-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $34.72, compared to $20.08 for Q1 2025. As noted above, the increase is primarily due to lower payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period than previous periods as a result of higher silver prices impacting the silver:gold and silver:copper ratios used to calculate silver equivalent ounces, as well as lower volumes sold of silver, gold and copper. This was further impacted by increased sustaining capital expenditures and increased general & administrative expenses in the current period compared to Q1 2025. Using the silver:gold and silver:copper ratios from the Company’s 2026 guidance, all-in sustaining costs per AgEq payable ounce sold was $28.14

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.

Non – IFRS Accounting Standards 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 costs |
| · | 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 derivative liability movements 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 and are indicative of the Company’s financial performance. There are not standardized definitions under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Adjusted earnings excludes share-based payments, and non-operating or recurring items such as foreign exchange gains and losses, writedown of equipment or supplies and materials inventory, fair value adjustments on outstanding warrants and fair value adjustments on derivative liabilities. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, 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.
Adjusted earnings per share is calculated taking adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of diluted common shares per the financial statements.

Cash Cost and All-in Sustaining Cost per Silver Equivalent Payable Ounce Sold and per Tonne Processed
The following tables provide a reconciliation of cost of sales from the consolidated financial statements to cash cost and all-in sustaining cost per silver equivalent payable ounce sold and per tonne processed. 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 silver, gold and copper prices for the corresponding period. Tonnes processed consists of tonnes of ore that were processed at the Company’s milling facilities.
Cash cost per payable ounce and all-in sustaining cost per payable ounce and per tonne processed 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 Accounting Standard measures is similar to that reported by other mining companies. Total cash cost per payable ounce and all-in sustaining 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 Accounting Standards, and are disclosed in addition to IFRS Accounting Standards measures.
The Company’s calculation of all-in sustaining costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $309 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 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 Accounting Standard measures and the Company’s consolidated financial statements are provided below. The non-IFRS Accounting Standard measures presented are intended to provide additional information, and should not be considered in isolation nor should they be considered substitutes for IFRS Accounting Standards measures. Calculated figures may not add up accurately due to rounding.

Mine Operating Cash Flow Before Taxes
Mine operating cash flow before taxes is a non-IFRS Accounting Standard measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Mine operating cash flow before taxes is calculated as mine operating income less depreciation and depletion in cost of sales and write down or reversals of equipment and supplies and materials inventory. Mine operating cash flow before taxes is used by management to assess the performance of the mine operations, excluding corporate activities and is provided to investors as a measure of the Company’s operating performance.

Operating Cash Flow Before Working Capital Adjustments
Operating cash flow before working capital adjustments a non-IFRS Accounting Standard measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Operating cash flow before working capital adjustments is calculated as cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows, less net changes in non-cash working capital items per the consolidated statement of cash flows. This measure is used by management to assess the performance of the mine operations and is provided to investors as a measure of the Company’s operating performance.

During Q1 2026, revenue increased significantly compared to previous quarters, mainly due to elevated silver prices even with lower silver equivalent ounces sold in the current quarter.
Net income and earnings per share in Q1 2026 were the highest in the Company’s history. Earnings overall have increased quarter over quarter, other than Q2 2025, mainly due to better metal realized prices, volume sold and lower costs due to cost management as well as positive movements between the USD and Mexican Peso exchange rates.
For further details see “Financial Results” section.
Total assets continue to increase overall when compared to previous quarters, as result of 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, end of period | $ | 138,646 | | $ | 26,627 | |
Operating Activities
Cash generated by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $13.6 million, an increase of $12.8 million compared to $0.8 million generated for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash movements from operating activities can fluctuate with changes in net income and working capital movements. In Q1 2026, cash generated from operating activities increased primarily as a result of increases to net income by $10.3 million, as well as positive unrealized foreign exchange movements totaling $2.2 million. These were offset by offset primarily by movements in non-cash items such as an increase to depreciation and depletion of $2.5 million, unrealized derivatives movements totaling $1.5 million in additional loss, as well as smaller movements in other non-cash items.
Financing Activities
Cash generated by financing activities was $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.3 million generated for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The movement is a result of proceeds from shares issued on the ATM and option exercises, partially offset by higher payments of lease and equipment loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received net proceeds from issuance of shares for cash and from options exercise of $27 million (March 31, 2025 – $0.8 million). The Company also made lease and equipment loan payments totaling $1 million (March 31, 2025 - $0.5 million).

Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $2.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Investing activities in the period primarily related to additions as to plant, equipment and mining properties at the Avino and La Preciosa mining operations.
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. If required to fund ongoing exploration activities, and meet its objectives, including ongoing advancement at the Avino Mine further financing may be required. 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.
The Company’s recent financing activities are summarized in the table below.
| Intended Use of Proceeds | Actual Use of Proceeds |
|---|
| In June 2025, the Company announced the renewal of the at-the-market (the “2025 ATM”) sales agreement for gross proceeds of up to $40 million. At December 31, 2025, the Company had received gross proceeds of $40 million in connection with the 2025 ATM, completing the program. Proceeds from the 2025 ATM are intended for development activities focused at La Preciosa, sustaining capital and development activities at the Avino Mine, including equipment lease and loan payments, and general working capital purposes.<br> <br><br> <br>In November 2025, the Company announced a new at-the-market (the “2025 ATM #2”) sales agreement for gross proceeds of up to $60 million. At March 31, 2026, the Company had received gross proceeds of approximately $59 million in connection with the 2025 ATM #2. The proceeds from the 2025 ATM #2 are intended for development activities focused at La Preciosa, sustaining capital and development activities at the Avino Mine, including equipment lease and loan payments, and general working capital purposes. | As of the date of this MD&A, the Company is using the funds as intended.<br> <br><br> <br>During this period, funds have been used for exploration and evaluation activities, the acquisition of mining equipment and development activities at La Preciosa, the acquisition of sustaining capital equipment and development of the Avino Mine and the repayments of capital equipment acquired under lease and loan. Further, funds were used for the repurchase of existing royalty and production obligations at La Preciosa. Remaining funds have remained in treasury for further acquisitions or investments into the existing operations |

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.
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 two (December 31, 2025 – 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 consolidated statement of financial position. At March 31, 2026, 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, 2026, in the amount of $138,646 and current assets exceeded current liabilities by $139,724 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, 2026, are summarized as follows:
| Total | Less Than<br> <br>1 Year | 1-5 years | More Than 5<br> <br>Years |
|---|
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | $ | 12,018 | $ | 12,018 | $ | - | $ | - |
| Deferred consideration payable | | 8,750 | | 8,750 | | - | | - |
| Equipment loans | | 825 | | 444 | | 381 | | - |
| Finance lease obligations | | 8,175 | | 3,517 | | 4,658 | | - |
| Total | $ | 29,768 | $ | 24,729 | $ | 5,039 | $ | - |
(c) Market Risk
Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further below.
| Page 20 |
|---|
| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS<br> <br>FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 |
|---|
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 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, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
|---|
| | MXN | | | CDN | | | MXN | | | CDN | | |
| Cash | $ | 22,483 | | $ | 2,814 | | $ | 29,172 | | $ | 1,710 | |
| Due from related parties | | 4,104 | | | - | | | 4,026 | | | - | |
| Long-term investments | | - | | | 5,918 | | | - | | | 5,690 | |
| Reclamation bonds | | - | | | 6 | | | - | | | 6 | |
| Amounts receivable | | 9,809 | | | 31 | | | 11,461 | | | 30 | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | (61,583 | ) | | (232 | ) | | (73,792 | ) | | (311 | ) |
| Due to related parties | | - | | | (135 | ) | | - | | | (135 | ) |
| Finance lease obligations | | (3,047 | ) | | (402 | ) | | (4,320 | ) | | (430 | ) |
| Net exposure | | (28,234 | ) | | 8,000 | | | (33,453 | ) | | 6,560 | |
| US dollar equivalent | $ | (1,558 | ) | $ | 5,738 | | $ | (1,863 | ) | $ | 4,785 | |
Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at March 31, 2026, 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, 2026, by approximately $366 (December 31, 2025 - $248). The Company has entered into certain foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, recorded a derivative asset of $190 (December 31, 2025 – derivative liability of $1,314).
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, 2026, 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 $487 (December 31, 2025 - $743).
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, 2026, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $1,177 (December 31, 2025 - $384).

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, 2026:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|
| Financial assets | | | | | | |
| Cash | $ | 138,646 | $ | - | $ | - |
| Amounts receivable | | - | | 4,870 | | - |
| Derivative asset | | - | | 190 | | - |
| Long-term investments | | 3,846 | | - | | 400 |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New and amended IFRS that are effective for the current year: Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are either applicable in the current year, or are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company adopted amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related amendments to IAS 7 Statement and of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, related to the settlement of financial assets and financial liabilities through electronic payment systems. The amendments clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities settled electronically and introduce and optional exception for certain electronic payment arrangements. We have assessed these standards and the adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
