Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted - Unaudited)

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 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 Avino Mine which produces copper, silver and gold at the historic Avino property in the state of Durango, Mexico. 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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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.

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, 2023, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

4.	ACQUISITION OF LA PRECIOSA

On March 21, 2022, the Company closed the acquisition with Coeur Mining Inc. (“Coeur”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Proyectos Mineros La Preciosa S.A de C.V, a Mexican corporation, and Cervantes LLC, a Delaware LLC, that together hold the La Preciosa property in Mexico (“La Preciosa”).

Total consideration paid to Coeur was comprised of:

	a)	Cash consideration of $15.3 million paid;
	b)	A promissory note for $5 million in favour of Coeur, payable without interest on or before March 21, 2023;
	c)	14,000,000 common shares of Avino, with a value of 13.65 million on issuance;
	d)	7,000,000 share purchase warrants with a total value at $2.24 million exercisable at $1.09 per share until September 21, 2023, representing a 25% premium to Avino’s 20-day volume weighted average trading price as of October 26, 2021;

Additionally, Avino issued the following consideration for which payment is contingent on a future event and due to acquisition date uncertainty these are valued at Nil. A liability for these contingent payments will be recognized when related activity and events occur.

	e)	An additional cash payment of $8.75 million, to be paid no later than 12 months after initial production at La Preciosa, up to one-half of which may be paid in common shares of Avino (provided Coeur’s total shareholdings cannot exceed 19.9% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares);
	f)	A 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on the Gloria and Abundancia areas of La Preciosa, and a 2.00% gross value royalty on all other areas of La Preciosa; and
	g)	A payment of $0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (subject to inflationary adjustment) of new mineral reserves (as defined by NI 43-101) discovered and declared outside of the current mineral resource area at La Preciosa, subject to a cap of $50 million, and any such payments will be credited against any existing or future payments owing on the gross value royalty.

The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as La Preciosa is in the exploration and evaluation stage and had not demonstrated technical feasibility, commercial viability, or the ability to provide economic benefits. La Preciosa did not have the workforce, resources and/or reserves, mine plan, or financial resources to the meet the definition of a business for accounting purposes.

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 concession described in note (i) above, are 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.

Minto and Olympic-Kelvin properties – British Columbia

On May 2, 2022, the Company has granted Endurance Gold Corporation the right to acquire an option to earn 100% ownership of the former Minto Gold Mine, Olympic and Kelvin gold prospects contained within a parcel of crown grant and mineral claims (the “Olympic Claims”).

Under the terms of the letter agreement, Endurance can earn a 100% interest in the Olympic Claims if they pay Avino a total cash consideration in the aggregate amount of C$100, issue up to a total of 1,500,000 common shares (“Shares”) of Endurance and incur exploration expenditures in the aggregate amount of C$300; all of which is to be incurred by December 31, 2024. In the event that Endurance earns the 100% interest, the Olympic Claims will be subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”), of which 1% NSR can be purchased by the Endurance for C$750 and the remaining balance of the NSR can be purchased for C$1,000.

As part of the final requirement to earn its interest, Endurance agreed to grant to Avino 750,000 share purchase warrants (“Warrants”) by December 31, 2024, that offer Avino the option to purchase additional shares in the Company for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants will be set at a 25% premium to the 20-day VWAP share price at the issuance date. During the Option, if Endurance is successful in defining a compliant mineral resource of at least 500,000 gold-equivalent ounces on the Olympic Claims then Endurance will be obliged to pay Avino a C$1,000 discovery bonus.

The Option agreement is subject to the TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, and any Shares or Warrants to be issued will be subject to a four-month hold period on issuance as per the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Endurance granted 200,000 common shares and paid C$25 as per the terms of the agreement, which required payment upon signing of a letter agreement between the two parties.

As of March 31, 2023, Endurance was in compliance with all terms of the Option agreement.

9.	NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

At March 31, 2023, the Company had an effective 99.67% (December 31, 2022 - 99.67%) interest in its subsidiary Avino Mexico and the remaining 0.33% (December 31, 2022 - 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 recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

13.	WARRANT LIABILITY

The Company’s warrant liability arises as a result of the issuance of warrants exercisable in US dollars. As the denomination is different from the Canadian dollar functional currency of the entity issuing the underlying shares, the Company recognizes a derivative liability for these warrants and re-measures the liability at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes model. Changes in respect of the Company’s warrant liability are as follows:

	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Balance at beginning of the period	$	475	$	741
Warrants issued		-		2,240
Fair value adjustment		293		(2,935	)
Effect of movement in exchange rates		3		(111	)
Balance at end of the period	$	771	$	475

Continuity of warrants during the periods is as follows:

	Underlying Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Warrants outstanding and exercisable, January 1, 2022		1,950,412	$	0.80
Granted		7,000,000	$	1.09
Warrants outstanding and exercisable, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023		8,950,412	$	1.03

			All Warrants Outstanding and Exercisable
Expiry Date	Exercise Price per Share		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
September 21, 2023	$	1.09		7,000,000		7,000,000
September 25, 2023	$	0.80		1,950,412		1,950,412
				8,950,412		8,950,412

As at March 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 0.48 years (December 31, 2022 – 0.73 years).

Valuation of the warrant liability requires the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The expected volatility used in valuing warrants 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 warrant liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions and resulting fair values:

	March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate		3.78	%		4.07	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected warrant life (years)		0.48			0.73
Expected stock price volatility		49.96	%		56.80	%
Weighted average fair value	$	0.09		$	0.05

14.	RECLAMATION PROVISION

Management’s estimate of the reclamation provision at March 31, 2023, is $505 (December 31, 2022 – $445), and the undiscounted value of the obligation is $1,598 (December 31, 2022 – $1,454).

The present value of the obligation was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 9.09% (December 31, 2022 – 9.65%) and an annual inflation rate of 6.04% (December 31, 2022 – 7.82%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2025 for the San Gonzalo Mine and in 2041 for the Avino Mine.

A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s reclamation provision is as follows:

	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

Balance at beginning of the period	$	445	$	726
Changes in estimates		-		(364	)

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 Shares			Weighted Average Price (C$)

RSUs outstanding, January 1, 2022		1,439,477		$	1.32
Granted		1,799,000			1.19

The following table summarizes information about the RSUs outstanding at March 31, 2023:

March 29, 2023	$	1.12		1,809,000
				3,238,477

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, 1,809,000 RSUs (year ended December 31, 2022, 1,799,000) were granted. The weighted average fair value at the measurement date was C$1.12 (December 31, 2022 – C$1.19), 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, 2023, the Company charged $277 (March 31, 2022 - $168) 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.

20.	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 term facility, 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, 2022 – two) counterparty (see Note 21). 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023, in the amount of $2,697 and working capital of $5,109 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, 2023, are summarized as follows:

	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-5 years		More Than 5 Years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	10,922	$	10,922	$	-	$	-
Amounts due to related parties		67		67		-		-
Minimum rental and lease payments		849		105		346		398
Equipment Loans		481		165		316		-
Finance lease obligations		2,925		1,523		1,402		-
Total	$	15,244	$	12,782	$	2,064	$	398

(c)

Market Risk

Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further below.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted - Unaudited)

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 exposed to interest rate risk primarily on its outstanding term facility, as the interest rate is subject to floating rates of interest. 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, 2023						December 31, 2022
	MXN			CDN			MXN			CDN
Cash	$	5,063		$	219		$	4,097		$	250
Due from related parties		1,402			-			1,402			-
Long-term investments		-			1,984			-			2,365
Reclamation bonds		-			6			-			4
Amounts receivable		1,549			302			-			34
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(76,052	)		(54	)		(85,486	)		(108	)
Due to related parties		-			(195	)		-			(135	)
Finance lease obligations		(880	)		(331	)		(161	)		(343	)
Net exposure		(68,918	)		1,931			(80,148	)		2,067
US dollar equivalent	$	(3,811	)	$	1,426		$	(4,136	)	$	1,526

Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at March 31, 2023, 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, 2023, by approximately $251 (year ended December 31, 2022 - $275). 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, 2023, 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 $17 (December 31, 2022 - $65).

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted - Unaudited)

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, 2023, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $143 (December 31, 2022 - $175).

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 7 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 and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2023:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial assets
Cash	$	2,697	$	-	$	-
Amounts receivable		-		2,015		-
Long-term investments		1,466		-		-
Total financial assets	$	4,163	$	2,015	$	-
Financial liabilities
Warrant liability		-		-		(771	)
Total financial liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	(771	)

The Company uses Black-Scholes model to measure its Level 3 financial instruments. As at March 31, 2023, the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments consisted of the warrant liability.

For the Company’s warrant liability valuation and fair value adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, see Note 13.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

1st Quarter 2023 Highlights

Another Quarter of Steady Production at Avino

Silver equivalent production of 678,247 ounces is another consistent quarter and represents a 48% increase from Q1 2022. Production decreased when compared to Q3 and Q4 2022, primarily due to ore mining in a lower grade zone of the Avino Mine

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) including Integration of La Preciosa MRE and Inaugural MREs on the Guadalupe and La Potosina deposits

Together, Avino’s consolidated mineral resources total 368 million silver equivalent ounces. This recent update added a significant boost to the mineral resources at the Avino Property. The measured and indicated silver equivalent ounces increased by 38% to 161 million, silver ounces increased 35% to 70 million, copper tonnes increased 18% to 136.7 thousand, and gold increased 23% to 596,000 ounces.

Metallurgical Testing Completed at the Oxide Tailings Project

On April 5, 2023, Avino announced metallurgical results from the testwork program that was completed and will form the basis of the metallurgical analysis in a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS) on the project. This Project has been in our portfolio for many years and factors prominently into our five-year growth plan to become an intermediate silver producer in Mexico. These results also build on the studies in the 2017 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) and increase the level of confidence in the Project through the extensive testwork completed. In the recent update, The Oxide Tailings mineral resource was increased by 407% in the measured and indicated categories to total 5.7 million tonnes, and an increase of 287% to the silver equivalent ounces resulting in 17.4 million.

Dry-Stack Tailings Facility Completed and Operational:

The dry-stack tailings facility is now complete and fully operational. During the quarter, the conveyor system was installed and is currently transporting the pressed dry tailings to the Avino open pit area. The dry-stack facility was a top environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) priority and demonstrates a commitment to safety for the community and the environment. In addition, dry-stack tailings require a smaller footprint. A selection of short videos of the facility in operation can be viewed on our website under Videos and Media.

Announced ET Area Drilling Results:

On January 5, 2023, Avino announced drill results from 4 drill holes at the Avino Elena Tolosa (“ET”) area below the current deepest workings at the mine. These drill results show the Avino Vein to extend a further 315 metres downdip. This exploration program was designed to test the continuity of the steeply dipping mineralization and to understand the genesis of the mineralization. As a result, the Avino Vein is now known to extend 800 metres deep downdip. Additionally, it appears that the Avino Vein is getting richer in copper as we go deeper with a grade of 1.63% copper over 16.66 metres in Hole ET 22. Geological modelling is ongoing to determine the potential geometry and controls of the mineralization. The 2023 drill program is underway with 8,000 metres planned.

La Preciosa Update:

The Company is conducting community engagement in the nearby towns adjacent to the property and will provide further updates as plans develop. Avino is fully committed to moving this project forward as it factors prominently in the Company’s 5-year growth strategy.

The decrease in revenues is a direct result of 11% lower realized copper prices in the quarter compared to Q1 2022, as well as a negative adjustment for provisionally priced revenues of $0.2 million compared to a positive adjustment of $1.3 million in Q1 2022.

Metal prices for revenues recognized during the period were $23.29 per ounce of silver, $1,878 per ounce of gold, and $8,992 per tonne of copper, with comparable prices for Q1 2022, were $23.96 per ounce of silver, $1,866 per ounce of gold, and $10,047 per tonne of copper.

Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income

Cost of sales was $8.0 million, compared to $6.3 million in Q1 2022, an increase of $1.7 million. The increase in cost of sales is partially attributable to 44% higher processed & milled tonnes in Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022, which resulted in higher overall overhead costs despite similar ounces sold in the two comparable quarters. The increase is also attributable to a stronger Mexican peso during the quarter, and additional scheduled and budgeted maintenance during the period on the haulage ramp, as well as in the mill complex.

Mine operating income, after depreciation and depletion, was $1.9 million, compared to $4.7 million in Q1 2022. The decrease in mine operating income of the increased cost of sales noted above, with lower revenues than the comparative quarter, primarily due to timing of concentrate shipments and provisional pricing adjustments mentioned in Revenues above.

General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments

General and administrative expenses was $1.2 million, compared to $1.1 million in Q1 2022, with the small increases coming from the increased corporate activity surrounding ramp up procedures and the acquisition of La Preciosa.

Share-based payments was $0.3 million, compared to $0.2 million in Q1 2022, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase is a direct result of the timing of option and RSU grants, and fluctuations in share price from period to period.

Other Items

Other Items totaled a loss of $0.7 million for the period, a positive movement of $0.5 million compared to a loss of $1.2 million related to Other Items in Q1 2022.

Unrealized loss on long-term investment was $0.3 million, a positive movement of $0.4 million compared to a loss of $0.7 million in Q1 2022. This is a direct result of fluctuations in the Company’s investment in shares of Talisker Resources from period to period, as well as the Company’s investment in shares of Silver Wolf Exploration and Endurance Gold.

Fair value adjustment on warrant liability was a loss of $0.3 million, a negative movement of $0.5 million compared to a gain of $0.2 million in Q1 2022. 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.

Foreign exchange loss for the period was $0.1 million, a positive movement of $0.5 million compared to a loss of $0.6 million in Q1 2022. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the quarter, the Canadian dollar and the US dollar depreciated in relation to the Mexican peso, resulting in a foreign exchange gain. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the US dollar appreciated slightly in relation to the Canadian dollar but depreciated in relation to the Mexican peso, resulting in a foreign exchange loss.

The remaining Other Items had no impact on net income, a positive change of $0.1 million compared to a loss impact of $0.1 million for Q1 2022.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

Current and Deferred Income Taxes

Current income tax expense decreased to Nil in Q1 2023, compared to $0.1 million in Q1 2022. The Company was able to use existing tax losses to offset income in the current period, as well as Q1 2022, and as such had minimal current income tax expense.

Deferred income tax recovery was Nil, a change of $1.5 million compared to expense of $1.5 million in Q1 2022. Deferred income tax fluctuates due to movements in taxable and deductible temporary differences related to the special mining duty in Mexico and 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 loss was $0.4 million for the period, or $0.00 per share, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share during Q1 2022. The changes are a result of the items noted above, which are primarily decreases in revenues and mine operating income, increases in share-based payments between the two comparable quarters. Net income/loss was further impacted by movements in unrealized foreign exchange, fair value adjustments on the warrant liability, and an increased unrealized loss on investments as noted above.

EBITDA & Adjusted Income/Loss (see “Non-IFRS Measures”)

EBITDA was $0.3 million, a decrease of $2.5 million when compared to $2.8 million for Q1 2022. The changes in EBITDA are primarily a factor of the items above, excluding any changes in depreciation and depletion, and any changes in income taxes. See Non-IFRS Measures for a reconciliation for EBITDA.

Adjusted earnings for the period was $1.1 million, a decrease of $2.3 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $3.4 million in the corresponding quarter in 2022. Changes to adjusted losses 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, excluding stand-by costs, was $14.22, compared to $11.21 for Q1 2022. The increase in cost per ounce is a result of higher milled tonnes, resulting in higher overhead, with similar ounces sold in Q1 2023 when compared to Q1 2022, primarily due to the timing of concentrate shipments. The increase is also attributable to a stronger Mexican peso during the quarter increase, as well as additional scheduled and budgeted maintenance during the period on the haulage ramp, and at the mill complex.

All-in sustaining cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce was $20.17, compared to $19.90 for Q1 2022, representing a minimal increase of 1%.

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.

Exploration

The Company has budgeted 8,000 metres of drilling in 2023, with a focus on at depth below the current Elena Tolosa production area. To date, the Company has completed approximately 4,200 metres of drilling in 2023. Further results on the area below the current production area at Elena Tolosa will be released in the coming weeks.

Additional information on the Company’s exploration and evaluation properties by region is as follows:

(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 four groups:

Oxide Tailings Metallurgical Testwork

On April 5, 2023, the Company announced metallurgical results from the testwork program on its oxide tailings project (“Oxide Tailings” or the “Project”). The Project hosts gold and silver from past producing historic operations in an inactive tailings facility located on the Avino property with a 5.7 million tonnes of measured and indicated resource grading 95 g/t of silver equivalent. Historically, near surface oxidised material was not recovered well by Avino’s conventional flotation mill, which has created this opportunity for re-processing the tailings with a cyanide leaching process.

Highlights from the testwork:

The project consists of three types of tailings that are categorized by grade as well as identified in three stratigraphic layers within the deposit based on the time period when they were processed. They are, Ancient Oxides, Recent Oxides and Sulphides, and each type was sampled and tested separately. The average grades are shown below.

The project exhibits an excellent response using conventional metallurgical techniques.

Recovery Highlights include:

Ancient Oxides

Gold Recovery up to 89.5% and silver recovery of up 90.4% in a conventional bottle roll.

Recent Oxides

Gold Recovery up to 85.8% and silver recovery of up 83.4% in a conventional bottle roll.

Sulphides

Gold Recovery up to 82.8% and silver recovery of up 76.1% in a conventional bottle roll.

The conventional bottle roll test parameters for the three samples were achieved at a particle size of eighty percent passing 75 microns using 500 to 1000ppm sodium cyanide and a retention time of 60-72 hours. The metallurgical test program was completed by SGS de Mexico (“SGS”), a leading metallurgical testing and consulting firm based in Durango Mexico. The testwork was completed on a composite sample from approximately 437 kg of HQ core from a sonic drill from 127 drill holes drilled into the oxide tailings resource in 2021 and 2022. Each type of tailings was identified and separated so that a composite for each style of tailings could be created. Both the deposition style and appearance of the tailings within the drill core allowed for relatively straight forward categorization. The sulphides section used 158.9 kg of sample, the ancient oxides used 135.5 kg and the recent oxides 142.7 kg.

The testwork program included chemical analysis, size fraction analysis, agglomeration, bulk leaching extractable gold test, bottle roll test to simulate agitated leaching, column leaching tests to simulate heap leaching, flotation, and cyanide detoxification using sodium hypochlorite.

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.

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 per payable ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce, and cash flow per share

Cash cost per payable ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce, and cash flow per share 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, all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce, and cash flow per share 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, and are disclosed in addition to IFRS measures.

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 has adopted the reporting of “all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent payable ounce”. This measure has no standardized meaning throughout the industry. However, it is intended to provide additional information. Avino presents all-in sustaining cash cost, because it believes that it more fully defines the total current cost associated with producing a silver equivalent payable ounce. Further, the Company believes that this measure allows investors of the Company to better understand its cost of producing silver equivalent payable ounces, and better assess the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations. Although the measure seeks to reflect the full cost per silver equivalent ounce of production from current operations, it does not include capital expenditures attributable to mine expansions, exploration, and evaluation costs attributable to growth projects, income tax payments, and financing costs. In addition, the calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs does not include depreciation and depletion expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods.

The Company’s calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $164 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (March 31, 2022 - $576) and all of which is attributable to the Avino Mine

The Company also presents cash flow per share, as it believes it assists investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the Company’s overall performance and its ability to generate cash flow from current operations. 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 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.

Cash Cost and All-in Sustaining Cash Cost per Silver Equivalent Payable Ounce

The following table 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.

	·	Revenue decreased in Q1 2023 compared to Q4 2022 due to lower concentrate tonnes shipped & sold during the current quarter. This was partially due to the timing of concentrate shipments, with one shipment planned for Q1 2023 being pushed into Q2 2023, which led to 33% lower ounces sold in Q1 2023 when compared to Q4 2022. This was after having seen Q4 2022 increase compared to other previous quarters following the restart of operations during Q3 2021 and the commencement of sales in September 2021.

	·	A net loss was generated in Q1 2023 primarily due to lower revenues and ounces sold than Q4 2022. For further details see “Financial Results” section.

	·	Total assets increased have increased overall when compared to previous quarters excluding Q4 2022, as result of the acquisition of La Preciosa as well as the increased operating cash flow generation.

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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

Operating Activities

Cash generated by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $0.4 million compared to $3.5 million used for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cash movements from operating activities can fluctuate with changes in net income and working capital movements. In Q1 2023, cash generated from operating activities decreased by $3.0 million primarily due to lower mine operating income as a result of higher levels of production with limited increase in sales volumes during the quarter.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is a result of higher lease and equipment loan payments, partially offset by proceeds from shares issued on the ATM. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received net proceeds from issuance of shares for cash of $0.2 million (March 31, 2022 – Nil). The Company also made finance lease and equipment loan payments totalling $0.4 million (March 31, 2022 - $0.3 million).

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $8.8 million compared to $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cash used in investing activities included cash capital expenditures and exploration and evaluation expenditures of $3.8 million (March 31, 2022 - $0.9 million) 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, compared to $15.3 million on the upfront payments in Q1 2022.

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 obtain the financing necessary to generate and sustain profitable operations.

16 | Page

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

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 outside the Company’s control. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to secure any or all necessary financing in the future. The Company’s recent financing activities are summarized in the table below.

Intended Use of Proceeds

Actual Use of Proceeds

During 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $18.1 million in connection with a brokered at-the-market offering issued under prospectus supplements, $0.8 million in connection with warrants exercised and $0.2 million in connection with stock options exercised.

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company is using the funds as intended. During 2021, the Company announced an increase to its exploration from 12,000 to 30,600 metres of exploration and resource drilling. As of the date of this MD&A, over 20,000 metres of the program had been completed.

In supporting mining operations in Mexico, the Company acquired la Preciosa for net cash consideration of $15.4 million. During 2022, the remaining $3.7 million was used for exploration and evaluation activities, the acquisition of property and equipment, the repayment of capital equipment acquired under lease and loan.

During 2020, the Company received net proceeds of $4.7 million in connection with a brokered at-the-market offering issued under prospectus supplements and $3.7 million in connection with warrants exercised.

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company had used, and was continuing to use, the funds as intended. There has been no impact on the ability of the Company to achieve its business objectives and milestones.

The Company intends to continue to explore its properties, as described above, subject to market conditions and the ability to continue to obtain suitable financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Financial Instruments and Risks

18 | Page

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.

(a)	Credit Risk

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 four (December 31, 2022 – two) counterparty. 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 highly-rated 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 consolidated statement of financial position. At March 31, 2023, 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, 2023, in the amount of $2,697 and working capital of $5,109 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 term facility, equipment loans, and 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, 2023, are summarized as follows:

	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-5 years		More Than 5 Years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	10,922	$	10,922	$	-	$	-
Amounts due to related parties		67		67		-		-
Minimum rental and lease payments		849		105		346		398
Equipment loans		481		165		316		-
Finance lease obligations		2,925		1,523		1,402		-
Total	$	15,244	$	12,782	$	2,064	$	398

(c)	Market Risk

Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further below.

19 | Page

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

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 exposed to interest rate risk primarily on its outstanding term facility, as the interest rate is subject to floating rates of interest. A 10% change in the interest rate would not result in a material impact on the Company’s operations.

Price Risk

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

(d)	Classification of Financial Instruments

IFRS 7 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 and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at March 31, 2023:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial assets
Cash	$	2,697	$	-	$	-
Amounts receivable		-		2,015		-
Long-term investments		1,466		-		-
Total financial assets	$	4,163	$	2,015	$	-
Financial liabilities
Warrant liability		-		-		(771	)
Total financial liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	(771	)

The Company uses Black-Scholes model to measure its Level 3 financial instruments. As at March 31, 2023, the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments consisted of the warrant liability.

For the Company’s warrant liability valuation and fair value adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, see Note 13 of the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Application of new and revised accounting standards:

Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective as at March 31, 2023:

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures on financial reporting (as defined in NI 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings and as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and has concluded that, based on its evaluation, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that as of March 31, 2023, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in NI 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings and as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were ineffective as of March 31, 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

Remediation

The Company has begun implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness described in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of the material weakness will be completed prior to the end of the year ended December 31, 2023.
