May 13, 2026 - Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. – News Release

Avino Delivers Record Q1 2026 Financial Results

**<u>Operating Highlights</u>**

**La Preciosa Milestones**

· **Steady Progress:** Ongoing extraction, haulage, and processing of mineralized development material is progressing well, albeit 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 material.

· **Silver Production:** Development production from La Preciosa contributed 49,830 silver ounces, slightly higher than Q4 2025.

· **2026 Drill Program:** 15,000 metres of drilling is planned for the year, with 2,600 metres completed by the end of Q1 2026.

**Operations**

· **Primary Silver Revenues:** 60% of the Company's Q1 2026 revenues came from the sales of silver processed from the production material from the Avino Mine and development material from La Preciosa at an average realized price of $86.42 per silver ounce.

· **Improved Mill Throughput:** In Q1 2026, Avino achieved an 11% year-over-year increase in mill throughput, reflecting the success of targeted upgrades and automation initiatives implemented by our operations and maintenance teams. These initiatives improved mill availability and supported stronger, more consistent throughput levels.

· **Inaugural Mineral Reserve Estimate at Avino and La Preciosa:** <u>On April 16, 2026</u>, Avino announced the completion of a new Mineral Reserve Estimate and updated Mineral Resource Estimate which includes La Preciosa, the Avino Mine (consisting of the Elena Tolosa ("ET") deposit, Guadelupe, and La Potosina). Collectively, the Company's assets host proven and probable mineral reserves of 27 million tonnes for 127 million silver equivalent ounces at a grade of 145 g/t. In mineral resources, collectively the Company holds measured and indicated mineral resources totaling 67.7 million tonnes and 301 million silver equivalent ounces at a grade of 162 g/t, as well as inferred mineral resources totaling 24.8 million tonnes and 87.6 million silver equivalent ounces at a grade of 123 g/t.

· **2026 Drill Program at Avino:** 15,000 metres of drilling is planned for the year at the Avino property with 3,000 metres completed at the end of Q1 2026.

· **Health and Safety Performance:** For Q1 2026, the Company achieved a Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate ("LTIFR") of 3.25 per 1,000,000 hours worked. Total reportable lost time incident rate was 0.19.

**Corporate**

· **Normal Course Issuer Bid Approval:** Early in the 2<sup>nd</sup> quarter, Avino announced that the TSX had accepted the Company's notice of Intention to repurchase for cancellation up to an aggregate of 8,423,566 common shares, or approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares. Avino is in a strong financial position, and at current silver prices and enough free cash flow generation in 2026 to support the repurchase of common shares, bringing additional value to shareholders and further underscoring our commitment to delivering strong shareholder returns.

**2026 Capital Expenditures**

Capital expenditures in Q1 2026 totaled $2.7 million, compared to $1.8 million in Q1 2025. The increased amount is in line with our capital budget for 2026 and was primarily spent on mine development and equipment for future production mining operations at La Preciosa.
