Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 10, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company 's internal control over financial reporting.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Plant, Equipment and Mining Properties - Assessment of Whether Indicators of Impairment Exist Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements  

 

Critical Audit Matter Description

 

The Company’s determination of whether or not an indicator of impairment exists at the cash generating unit (“CGU”) level requires significant management judgment. Changes in metal price forecasts or discount rates, increases in estimated future costs of production, increases in estimated future non expansionary capital expenditures, reductions in the amount of recoverable resources and exploration potential and adverse current economic conditions can result in a write-down of the carrying amounts of the Company’s plant, equipment and mining properties.

 

While several factors are assessed to determine whether or not an indicator of impairment exists, the judgments with the highest degree of subjectivity are changes in metal price forecasts (for silver, gold, and copper). Auditing these estimates and factors required a high degree of subjectivity in applying audit procedures and in evaluating the results of those procedures. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of fair value specialists.

 

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

 

Our audit procedures related to the changes in metal price forecasts (for silver, gold, and copper) considered in the assessment of indicators of impairment included the following, among others:

 

 

·

Evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls over management’s assessment of indicators of impairment, and

 

 

 

 

·

With the assistance of fair value specialists, evaluated future metal prices (for silver, gold, and copper) by comparing management forecasts to third party forecasts.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

  

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.

   

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated March 10, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

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

 

The Company’s head office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada (except for the province of Quebec) and the United States, and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the ticker ASM:TSX, the NYSE American under the ticker ASM:NYSE-A, and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under the ticker GV6.

 

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

 

2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Statement of Compliance

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”).

 

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.

 

a) Critical judgments exercised by management in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

i) Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits from exploration and evaluation costs

 

Management has determined that mine and camp, exploratory drilling, and other exploration and evaluation-related costs that were capitalized have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geologic and metallurgic information, scoping studies, accessible facilities, existing permits, and mine plans.

 

ii) Commencement of production at levels intended by management

 

Prior to reaching production levels intended by management, costs incurred are capitalized as part of the costs of related exploration and evaluation assets, or as part of the related mine or mill. Depletion of capitalized costs for mining properties and depreciation of plant and equipment begin when operating levels intended by management have been reached. Management considers several factors in determining when a mining property has reached the intended production levels, including production capacity, recoveries, and number of uninterrupted production days.

 

The basis for achievement of production levels intended by management as indicated by technical feasibility and commercial viability is generally established with proven reserves based on a NI 43-101-compliant technical report or a comparable resource statement and feasibility study, combined with pre-production operating statistics and other factors. In cases where the Company does not have a 43-101-compliant reserve report, on which to base a production decision, the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are considered in light of additional factors including but not limited to:

 

 

·

Acquisition and installation of all critical capital components to achieve desired mining and processing results has been completed. Capital components have been acquired directly and are also available on an as-needed basis from the underground mining contractor;

 

·

The necessary labour force, including mining contractors, has been secured to mine and process at planned levels of output;

 

·

The mill has consistently processed at levels at or above design capacity and budgeted production levels with consistent recoveries and grades; and,

 

·

Establishing sales agreements with respect to the sale of concentrates.

  

When technical feasibility and commercial viability are considered demonstrable according to the above criteria and other factors, the Company performs an impairment assessment and records an impairment loss, if any, before reclassifying exploration and evaluation costs to plant, equipment, and mining properties.

iii) Functional currency

 

The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment, in which the entity operates. The Company has determined the functional currency of the Company to be the Canadian dollar. The Company has determined the functional currency of its Mexican subsidiaries to be the US dollar. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment. The Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities, if there is a change in events and conditions, which determine the primary economic environment.

 

b) Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the consolidated statement of financial position date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

 

i) Stockpile and concentrate inventory valuations

 

Concentrate and stockpile mineralized material are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. The assumptions used in the valuation of concentrate and stockpile mineralized material include estimates of copper, silver, and gold contained in the stockpiles and finished goods assumptions for the amount of copper, silver, and gold that is expected to be recovered from the concentrate. If these estimates or assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the Company could be required to write down the recorded value of its concentrate and stockpile mineralized material inventory, which would result in an increase in the Company’s expenses and a reduction in its working capital.

 

ii) Estimated reclamation provisions

 

The Company’s provision for reclamation represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows required to settle estimated reclamation and closure costs at the Avino and San Gonzalo properties. The provision reflects estimates of future costs, inflation, foreign exchange rates and assumptions of risks associated with the future cash outflows, and the applicable risk-free interest rates for discounting the future cash outflows. Changes in the above factors could result in a change to the provision recognized by the Company.

 

Changes to reclamation and closure cost obligations are recorded with a corresponding change to the carrying amounts of the related exploration and evaluation assets or mining properties. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of related mining properties result in a change to future depletion expense.

 

iii) Valuation of share-based payments and warrants

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based payments and warrants. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect fair value estimates and the Company’s net income or loss and its equity reserves.

 

iv) Impairment of plant, equipment and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets

 

Management considers both external and internal sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that the Company’s plant, equipment, and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets are impaired. External sources of information management considers include changes in the market, economic and legal environments, in which the Company operates, that are not within its control and that affect the recoverable amount of its plant, equipment, and mining properties. Internal sources of information that management considers include the manner in which mining properties and plant and equipment are being used, or are expected to be used, and indications of economic performance of the assets.

In determining the recoverable amounts of the Company’s plant, equipment and mining properties, management makes estimates of the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows expected to be derived from the Company’s mining properties, and the appropriate discount rate. Reductions in metal price forecasts, increases in estimated future costs of production, increases in estimated future non expansionary capital expenditures, reductions in the amount of recoverable resources and exploration potential, and adverse current economic conditions are examples of factors that could result in a write down of the carrying amounts of the Company’s plant, equipment and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets.

 

Impairment

 

There is significant judgment involved in assessing whether any indications of impairment exist for plant, equipment and mineral properties, with consideration given to both external and internal sources of information.

 

Information the Company considers include changes in the technological market, economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control that affect the recoverable amount of mineral properties. Internal sources of information include the manner in which mineral property, plant and equipment are being used or are expected to be used and indications of the economic performance of the assets.

 

Changes in metal price forecasts, changes in discount rates, increases or decreases in estimated future costs of production, increases or decreases in estimated future capital costs, reductions or increases in the amount of recoverable mineral resources and/or adverse or favorable current economics can result in a write-down or write-up of the carrying amounts of the Company’s mining interests.

 

Based on the Company’s assessment with respect to possible indicators of impairment of its mineral properties, including the prevailing market metals prices and existence of a market capitalization deficiency, the Company concluded that as of December 31, 2025, no impairment indicator was identified.

 

There were no indicators of impairment identified as of December 31, 2025, on any of the Company’s CGUs.

 

v) Depreciation rate for plant and equipment and depletion rate for mining properties

 

Depreciation and depletion expenses are allocated based on estimates for useful lives of assets. Should the asset life, depletion rates, or depreciation rates differ from the initial estimate, the revised life or rate would be reflected prospectively through income or loss. A change in the mineral resource estimate may impact depletion expense on a prospective basis.

 

vi) Recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities

 

Actual amounts of income tax expense are not final until tax returns are filed and accepted by the relevant authorities. This occurs subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, tax assets and liabilities and net income in subsequent periods will be affected by the amount that estimates differ from the final tax return. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. Forecasted cash flows from operations are based on projections internally developed and reviewed by management. Weight is attached to tax planning opportunities that are within the Company’s control, and are feasible and implementable without significant obstacles. The likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities is assessed based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position evaluated in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that could materially affect the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

3) MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Exploration and evaluation assets and development costs

 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures

 

The Company capitalizes all costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral claims. Expenditures incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore a specific area are expensed. The Company’s capitalized exploration and evaluation costs are classified as intangible assets. Such costs include, but are not limited to, certain camp costs, geophysical studies, exploratory drilling, geological and sampling expenditures, and depreciation of plant and equipment during the exploration stage. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur. The proceeds from the sales of such assets are recognized as revenue.

 

The carrying values of capitalized amounts are reviewed annually, or when indicators of impairment are present. In the case of undeveloped properties, there may be only inferred resources to allow management to form a basis for the impairment review. The review is based on the Company’s intentions for the development of such properties. If a mineral property does not prove to be viable, all unrecoverable costs associated with the property are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income at the time the determination is made.

 

When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources have been demonstrated, exploration and evaluation costs are assessed for impairment, reclassified to mining properties and become subject to depletion. Management considers the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource to be demonstrable upon the completion of a positive feasibility study and the establishment of mineral reserves. For certain mineral projects, management may determine the completion of a feasibility study to be cost prohibitive, unnecessary or to present undue risk to the structural integrity of the ore body. Under such circumstances, management considers technical feasibility to be demonstrable when the Company has obtained the necessary environmental and mining permits, land surface and mineral access rights, and the mineral project can be physically constructed and operated in a technically sound manner to produce a saleable mineral product. In assessing whether commercial viability is demonstrable, management considers if its internal economic assessment indicates that the mineral project can be mined to generate a reasonable return on investment for the risk undertaken, and markets or long-term contracts for the product exist.

Development expenditures

 

Mine development costs are capitalized until the mineral property is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The Company evaluates the following factors in determining whether a mining property is capable of operating in the manner intended by management:

 

 

·

The completion and assessment of a reasonable commissioning period of the mill and mining facilities;

 

·

Consistent operating results are achieved during the test period;

 

·

Existence of clear indicators that operating levels intended by management will be sustainable for the foreseeable future;

 

·

Plant / mill has reached a pre-determined percentage of design capacity;

 

·

Adequate funding is available and can be allocated to the operating activities; and,

 

·

Long term sales arrangements have been secured.

  

The carrying values of capitalized development costs are reviewed annually, or when indicators are present, for impairment.

 

Plant, equipment and mining properties

 

Upon demonstrating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources, all expenditures incurred to that date for the mine are reclassified to mining properties. Expenditures capitalized to mining properties include all costs related to obtaining or expanding access to resources including extensions of the haulage ramp and installation of underground infrastructure, and the estimated reclamation provision. Expenditures incurred with respect to a mining property are capitalized when it is probable that additional future economic benefits will flow to the Company. Otherwise, such expenditures are classified as a cost of sales.

 

Plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to bringing the asset to a location and condition necessary to operate in a manner intended by management. Such costs are accumulated as construction in progress until the asset is available for use, at which point the asset is classified as plant, equipment and mining properties and depreciation commences.

 

After the date that management’s intended production levels have been achieved, mining properties are depleted using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining life of the mine. The Company estimates the remaining life of its producing mineral properties on an annual basis using a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors including historical results, mineral resource estimates, and management’s intent to operate the property. Such estimation is a subjective process and the accuracy of any mineral resource estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation. Differences between management’s assumptions including economic assumptions such as metal prices, discount rate and market conditions could have a material effect in the future on the Company’s financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

 

The Company does not have sufficient reserve information to form a basis for the application of the units-of-production method for depreciation and depletion.

avino_ex991img35.jpg

 

 

As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company estimated a remaining mine life for the Avino Mine of 17 years and 18 years, respectively.

 

Upon the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets and liabilities that does not constitute a business, the Company identifies and recognizes the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The cost of the group is allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction or event does not give rise to goodwill. Transaction costs related to the acquisition is capitalized as part of cost of assets acquired.

 

Accumulated mill, machinery, plant facilities, and certain equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the life of the mine for any assets that are inseparable from the mine. When parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (or components) of plant and equipment.

 

Plant and equipment are depreciated using the following annual rates and methods:

 

Office equipment, furniture, and fixtures

5 years straight line balance

Computer equipment

3 years straight line balance

Mine machinery and transportation equipment

5 years straight line balance

Mill machinery and processing equipment

5 - 20 years straight line

Buildings

5 - 20 years straight line

 

Impairment

 

At each financial position reporting date, the carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial or long-lived assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, provided the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Leases

 

The Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, at inception of the contract. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.

 

The incremental borrowing rate depends on the term, currency and start date of the lease and is determined based on a series of inputs including: the risk-free rate based on government bond rates; a country-specific risk adjustment; a credit risk adjustment based on bond yields; and an entity-specific adjustment when the risk profile of the entity that enters into the lease is different to that of the Company and the lease does not benefit from a guarantee from the Company.

 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

 

 

·

Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

 

·

Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date

 

·

The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees

 

·

The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options

 

·

Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease

  

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

 

The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:

 

 

·

The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate

 

·

The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used)

 

·

A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification

  

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the right-of-use asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

 

The Company applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the ‘Plant, Equipment and Mining Properties’ policy.

Inventory

 

Material extracted from the Company's mine is classified as either process material or waste. Process material represents mineralized material that, at the time of extraction, the Company expects to process into a saleable form and sell at a profit, while waste is considered uneconomic to process and its extraction cost is included in direct mining costs. Raw materials are comprised of process material stockpiles. Process material is accumulated in stockpiles that are subsequently processed into bulk copper, silver, and gold concentrate in a saleable form. The Company has bulk copper, silver, and gold concentrate inventory in saleable form that has not yet been sold. Mine operating supplies represent commodity consumables and other raw materials used in the production process, as well as spare parts and other maintenance supplies that are not classified as capital items.

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (“NRV”). Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all costs incurred, based on normal production capacity, in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Cost of inventories comprises direct labor, materials and contractor expenses, depletion and depreciation on mining properties, plant and equipment, and an allocation of mine site costs. As mineralized material is removed for processing, costs are removed based on the average cost per tonne in the stockpile. Stockpiled process material tonnages are verified by periodic surveys.

 

NRV of mineralized material is determined with reference to relevant market prices less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. NRV of materials and supplies is generally calculated by reference to salvage or scrap values when it is determined that the supplies are obsolete. NRV provisions are recorded within cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations, and are reversed to reflect subsequent recoveries where the inventory is still on hand.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue and costs to sell can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and other sales tax or duty.

 

Performance Obligations

 

Based on the criteria outlined in IFRS 15, the Company applied judgment in determining that the primary performance obligation relating to its sales contracts is the delivery of concentrates. Shipping and insurance services arranged by the Company for concentrate sales that occur after the transfer of control are also considered performance obligations.

 

Transfer of Control

 

Based on the criteria outlined in IFRS 15, the Company applied judgment in determining when the transfer of control occurs. Management based its assessment on a number of indicators of control, which include but are not limited to, whether the Company has the present right of payment and whether the physical possession of the goods, significant risks and rewards, and legal title have been transferred to the customer.

 

Provisional Pricing

 

Based on the criteria outlined in IFRS 15, the Company applied significant judgment in determining variable consideration. The Company identified a provisional pricing component in concentrate sales, representing variable consideration in the form of adjustments between original and final assay results relating to the quantity and quality of concentrate shipments. Pricing adjustments between provisional and final invoicing based on market prices for base and precious metals are included in revenues until final settlement.

 

Based on the Company’s historical accuracy in the assay process, as evidenced by the negligible historical adjustments relating to assay differences, the Company concluded the variability in consideration caused by the assaying results is negligible. The Company does not expect a significant amount of reversal related to assaying differences. The Company records revenues based on provisional invoices based on quoted market prices of the London Bullion Market Association and the London Metal Exchange during the quotation period outlined in the concentrate sales agreement. The Company applied judgment to determine the amount of variable consideration to be recognized during the period for which the likelihood of significant reversal is low.

Financial Instruments

 

Measurement – initial recognition

 

All financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recorded on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial asset and liabilities are initially recorded at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs, except for those classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities depends on the classifications of such assets and liabilities.

 

Classification – financial assets

 

Amortized cost:

 

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and that the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortized cost.

 

The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income is recognized using the effect interest method, and is recognized in Interest and other income, on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

The Company financial assets at amortized costs include amounts receivable not related to sales of concentrate (including due from related parties) and reclamation bonds.

 

Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)

 

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to both collect contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

Upon initial recognition of equity securities, the Company may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate its equity securities that would otherwise be measured at FVTPL to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other OCI. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the instrument; instead, it is transferred to retained earnings.

 

The Company currently has no financial assets designated as FVTOCI.

 

Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)

 

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at FVTPL, which includes cash, long-term investments, and amounts receivable from concentrate sales.

Classification – financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities that are not contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held for trading or designated as at FVTPL, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Financial liabilities at amortized cost include accounts payable and amounts due to related parties.

 

Financial liabilities classified FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company has hedging arrangements. Financial liabilities related to hedging arrangements are classified FVTPL upon initial recognition. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. As these arrangements mature, the fair value of the recorded derivative liability on the date of maturity is included in the consolidated statement of operations, along with the related decrease or increase to the derivative liability.

 

Impairment

 

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on its financial assets when necessary. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instruments.

 

Share capital

 

a) Common shares

 

Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares and equity warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Transaction costs directly attributable to derivative warrants are charged to operations as a finance cost.

 

b) Repurchase of share capital (treasury shares)

 

When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to accumulated deficit.

 

Share-based payment transactions

 

The Company’s share option plan and restricted share unit (“RSU”) plan allows directors, officers, employees, and consultants to acquire common shares of the Company.

 

The fair value of options granted is measured at fair value at the grant date based on the market value of the Company’s common shares on that date.

 

The fair value of equity-settled RSUs is measured at the grant date based on the market value of the Company’s common shares on that date, and each tranche is recognized using the graded vesting method over the period during which the RSUs vest. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of RSUs that are expected to vest.

 

All options and RSUs are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity reserves in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Reclamation and other provisions

 

Provisions are recognized where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. If material, provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in any provision due to the passage of time is recognized as accretion expense.

 

The Company records the present value of estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore properties in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of these restoration activities includes dismantling and removing structures, rehabilitating mines and restoration, reclamation, and re-vegetation of affected areas.

 

The fair value of the liability for a rehabilitation provision is recorded when it is incurred. When the liability is initially recognized, the present value of the estimated cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining property or exploration and evaluation asset. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the change in present value based on the discount rates that reflect current market assessments and the risks specific to the liability, which is accreted over time through periodic charges to income or loss. A revision in estimates or new disturbance will result in an adjustment to the provision with an offsetting adjustment to the mineral property or the exploration and evaluation asset. Additional disturbances, changes in costs, or changes in assumptions are recognized as adjustments to the corresponding assets and reclamation liabilities when they occur.

 

Earnings per share

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the earnings attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes in the years presented are comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized as equity.

 

Deferred tax is recognized using the statement of financial position asset and liability method, which provides for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax recognized is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statement of financial position date. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

 

4) 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. We have assessed these standards, and they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

Amendments to IAS 21 – Lack of Exchangeability

 

The amendments clarify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. In addition, the amendments require the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to understand the impact of currency not being exchangeable. There was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the adoption of these amendments.

 

Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective as at December 31, 2025:

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Classification and Measurement of Financial instruments

 

The amendments provide guidance on the derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer, as well as the classification of financial assets for: contractual terms consistent with a basic lending arrangement; assets with non-recourse features and contractually linked instruments.

 

Additionally, the amendments introduce new disclosure requirements related to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), and additional disclosures for financial instruments with contingent features.

 

The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 regarding the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments with a mandatory application of the standard on annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. We are currently assessing these standards, and their potential impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

 

Amendments to IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

 

In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions.

 

IFRS 18 regarding the Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements with a mandatory application of the standard on annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. We are currently assessing these standards, and their potential impact on the Company in future reporting periods.

Option Agreement – Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. (“Silver Wolf”)

 

On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement to grant Silver Wolf the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest in the Ana Maria and El Laberinto properties in Mexico (the “Option Agreement”). During the year ended December 31, 2025, Silver Wolf completed all requirements of the Option Agreement and acquired the 100% interest.

 

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, 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.

9) NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

 

At December 31, 2025, the Company had an effective 99.67% (December 31, 2024 - 99.67%) interest in its subsidiary Avino Mexico and the remaining 0.33% (December 31, 2024 - 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.

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.

18) 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 three (December 31, 2024 – two) counterparties (see Note 20). 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 December 31, 2025, 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 December 31, 2025, in the amount of $101,724 and current assets exceeded current liabilities by $99,562 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 December 31, 2025, are summarized as follows:

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:

Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at December 31, 2025, a 10% fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the year ended December 31, 2025, by approximately $248 (December 31, 2024 - $144). The Company has entered into certain foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk and during the year ended December 31, 2025, recorded a derivative asset of $1,314 (December 31, 2024 – derivative liability of $475).

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 December 31, 2025, 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 $743 (December 31, 2024 - $36).

 

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 December 31, 2025, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $384 (December 31, 2024 - $119).

 

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 December 31, 2025:

19) CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and expansion of its properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefit of its stakeholders. In the management of capital, the Company includes equity (comprising of all issued share capital, equity reserves, retained earnings or accumulated deficit, and other comprehensive income (loss), equipment loan obligations, and finance lease obligations, are listed as follows:

$ 248,370

 

 

$ 128,028

 

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may attempt to incur new debt or issue new shares. Management reviews the Company’s capital structure on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. At December 31, 2025, the Company expects its capital resources and projected future cash flows from operations to support its normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis, and planned development and exploration of its mineral properties and other expansionary plans. At December 31, 2025, there was no externally imposed capital requirement to which the Company was subject and with which the Company did not comply.

 

20) 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. In 2024, the Company only had one reportable segment. Following this change in the composition of reportable segments, the Company has restated the corresponding segment information as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the information as at December 31, 2024.

The net deferred tax liability presented in these consolidated financial statements is due to the difference in the carrying amounts and tax bases of the Mexican plant, equipment and mining properties which were acquired in the purchase of Avino Mexico. The carrying values of the Mexican plant, equipment and mining properties includes an estimated fair value adjustment recorded upon the July 17, 2006, acquisition of control of Avino Mexico that was based on a share exchange, while the tax bases of these assets are historical undeducted tax amounts that were nil on acquisition. The deferred tax liability is attributable to assets in the tax jurisdiction of Mexico.

 

The Company has non-capital tax losses of $22,815 carried forward available to reduce future Mexican taxable income and have an expiry date range of 2026 to 2035.

 

b) Unrecognized deductible temporary differences:

 

Temporary differences and tax losses arising in Canada have not been recognized as deferred income tax assets due to the fact that management has determined it is not probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be earned in Canada to recover such assets.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Record Cash and Working Capital Position

 

 

·

Avino had $101.7 million in cash at December 31, 2025, and remains debt-free, excluding operating equipment leases and the deferred royalty repurchase payment. Our working capital position of $99.6 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.

 

TSX Recognition and Index Inclusion

 

 

·

On September 9, 2025, Avino announced its inclusion in the Toronto Stock Exchange’s TSX30TM. Avino has distinguished itself by reaching the 5th position on the TSX30 2025 ranking, which is a flagship program recognizing the 30 top-performing TSX stocks on a dividend-adjusted share price appreciation over a three-year period.

 

 

 

 

·

On September 16, 2025, Avino announced that it has been added to the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Index (“MVGDXJTR”) and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF ("GDXJ"), effective at market close on September 19, 2025, pursuant to the GDXJ's semi-annual review and quarterly rebalance.

 

4th Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

 

 

·

Record revenues of $30.5 million, an increase of 25% from Q4 2024, our previous quarterly record.

 

 

 

 

·

Mine operating income of $17.8 million, an increase of 71% from Q4 2024.

 

 

 

 

·

Net income of $10.5 million, or $0.06 per share.

 

 

 

 

·

Adjusted earnings of $16.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, an increase of 62% and 43%, respectively, from Q4 2024.

 

 

 

 

·

Cash flow provided by operating activities of $10 million, a decrease of 36% compared to Q4 2024. Prior to working capital adjustments, cash flow provided from operating activities was $18.9 million, an increase of 219% compared to Q4 2024.

 

 

 

 

·

Mine operating cash flow before taxes of $19.0 million, an increase of 60% from Q4 2024.

 

 

 

 

·

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $14.4 million, an increase of 58% from Q4 2024.

 

 

 

 

·

Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold of $21.10, an increase of 52% from Q4 2024.

 

 

 

 

·

All in sustaining costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold of $31.59, an increase of 70% from Q4 2024.

 

FY 2025 Highlights

 

 

·

La Preciosa Royalty Repurchase: During the 3rd quarter, Avino acquired all outstanding royalties and obligations held by Deterra Royalties Inc. “Deterra”, for consideration of $13.25 million upfront payment followed by an $8.75 million deferred payment, achieving 100% interest on the La Preciosa property. The deferred payment to Deterra is due in Q3 2026.

 

 

 

 

·

Silver Equivalent Production Decreased 2%: Avino produced 2,606,155 silver equivalent ounces in 2025, representing a 2% decrease from 2024. The decrease was driven by lower feed grades in all three metals (silver, gold and copper), as we moved through a lower grade section of the mine plan and was partially offset by improved mill availability of 14%.

 

 

 

 

·

Continued Elevated Mill Throughput: In 2025, Avino achieved 14% higher mill throughput versus 2024, totalling 736,935 tonnes of material. These throughput levels built off last quarter’s record and were a result of previous upgrades and automation enhancements made by our operations team, demonstrating significant improvements in mill availability.

 

 

 

 

·

Gold and Silver Production Increased 2% and 4%: Avino produced 1,157,828 silver ounces and 7,621 gold ounces in 2025, an increase in both metals from 2024. Improved production resulted from the increased tonnes processed.

 

 

 

 

·

Copper Production Decreased 9%: Avino produced 5.7 million pounds of copper in 2025, a decrease of 9% from 2024. This decrease was result of lower feed grade from certain areas in our planned mine sequencing, which did have an impact on recoveries as well. This was partially offset by significantly improved mill availability of 14%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

La Preciosa Updates

 

Royalty & Obligations Repurchase

 

On August 25, 2025, Avino announced the acquisition of 100% interest of La Preciosa by purchasing and extinguishing all of the outstanding royalties and contingent payment obligations (the “La Preciosa Obligations”) currently held by Deterra Royalties Limited (“Deterra”). The consideration for the La Preciosa Obligations was a $13.25 million upfront payment upon closing, followed by an $8.75 million payment deferred for one year after closing. The deferred payment was already accounted for in the existing royalty agreement with Deterra.

 

The La Preciosa Obligations were comprised of:

 

 

·

a cash payment of US$8.75 million, to be paid no later than 12 months after initial production at La Preciosa (the “Contingent Production Payment”);

 

·

a 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on the Gloria and Abundancia areas of La Preciosa, and a 2.00% gross value returns royalty on all other areas of La Preciosa; and

 

·

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, with any such payments to be credited against any existing or future payments owing on the gross value returns royalty.

 

The La Preciosa Obligations were initially issued to Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur”) in connection with the acquisition of La Preciosa by Avino in March 2022. Details of the Company’s acquisition of La Preciosa are available on the Company’s website here. Following the acquisition, Coeur sold the La Preciosa Obligations to Trident Royalties Plc (“Trident”) in May 2023, with Deterra subsequently acquiring the La Preciosa Obligations by way of its acquisition of Trident in September 2024.

 

Following the transaction, the deferred payment of $8.75 million remains the sole material obligation related to La Preciosa, with all other obligations having been extinguished.

 

Exploration & Confirmatory Drilling

 

Throughout 2025 and in January 2026, Avino announced the results of fourteen 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 through 3 below.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

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, 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Revenues

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenues of $30.5 million on the sale of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate and La Preciosa silver/gold concentrate, compared to $24.4 million revenues for 2024, an increase of $6.1 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 $59.52 per ounce of silver, $4,174 per ounce of gold, and $10,194 per tons of copper, with comparable prices for Q4 2024 were $30.21 per ounce of silver, $2,564 per ounce of gold, and $9,300 per tonne of copper.

 

Payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period were 555,567 ounces, compared to 889,294 ounces in Q4 2024. 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, as well as lower volumes sold of silver, gold and copper.

 

Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, cost of sales was $12.7 million, compared to $13.9 million in Q4 2024, an increase of $1.2 million. The increase is mainly attributable to less volume sold, as well as a stronger average Mexican Peso compared to the US Dollar during the current quarter, with an average of $18.31 Mexican Pesos to 1 US Dollar in Q4 2025 compared to an average of $18.90 Mexican Pesos to 1 US Dollar in Q4 2024.

 

Mine operating income, after depreciation and depletion, was $17.8 million, compared to $10.5 million in Q4 2024. The increase in mine operating income is a result of the items noted above as well as mark to market movements resulting from higher metal prices and higher metal contents that had a positive impact of $4.4 million in Q4 2025 compared to a negative impact of $1.6 million in Q4 2024.

 

General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments

 

General and administrative expenses were $2.8 million, compared to $1.7 million in Q4 2024. 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 Q4 2024, 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 $0.1 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million in Q4 2024. 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 gain on derivative liability was $0.2 million compared to 0.4 million in Q4 2024. 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 loss for the period was $0.3 million, a negative movement of $0.9 million compared to a gain of $0.6 million in Q4 2024. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the US dollar depreciated in relation to the Mexican Peso and strengthened against the Canadian dollar, resulting in foreign exchange gains overall.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Current and Deferred Income Taxes

 

Current income tax expense was $3.2 million in Q4 2025, a change of $1.1 million compared to an income tax expense of $4.3 million for Q4 2024. The movement relates primarily to tax losses used to offset income from La Preciosa generated in Q4 2025, which resulted in decreased income tax expense.

 

Deferred income tax expense was $0.2 million, a change of $1.2 million compared to an expense of $1.0 million in Q4 2024. 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 $10.5 million for the period, or $0.07 per basic and $0.06 diluted share, compared to net income of $5.1 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share for Q4 2024. 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 $14.4 million for the period, an increase of $5.3 million when compared to $9.1 million for Q4 2024. 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 $16.3 million, an increase of $6.3 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $10.0 million in the corresponding quarter in 2024. 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 $21.10, compared to $13.88 for Q4 2024. 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.

 

All-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $31.59, compared to $18.62 for Q4 2024. 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 Q4 2024.

 

See Non-IFRS Accounting Standard Measures for a reconciliation for cash costs and all-in sustaining costs

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Revenues

 

The Company recognized revenues net of penalties, treatment costs and refining charges, of $92.2 million on the sale of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate, compared to revenues of $66.2 million for 2024, an increase of $26.0 million.

 

The increase in revenues is a result of higher average realized metal prices for silver, gold and copper for the period.

 

Metal prices for revenues recognized during the year were $44.70 per ounce of silver, $3,563 per ounce of gold, and $10,137 per tonne of copper, with comparable prices for the year ended December 31, 2024, of $29.21 per ounce of silver, $2,487 per ounce of gold, and $9,251 per tonne of copper.

 

Payable silver equivalent ounces sold in the current period were 2,362,505 ounces, compared to 2,562,211 ounces in 2024. 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, as well as lower volumes sold of silver, gold and copper.

 

Cost of Sales & Mine Operating Income

 

Cost of sales for the year were $43.7 million, compared to $43.0 million in the 2024 period, an increase of $0.7 million. The increase in cost of sales is attributable to higher tonnes milled and higher ounces sold as mentioned above, which resulted in higher overall costs despite minimally improved cost per ounce metrics.

 

Mine operating income for the year was $48.5 million, compared to $23.2 million in 2024. The increase in mine operating income is a result of higher revenues, with cost of sales being similar to the comparative period, as noted above.

 

General and Administrative Expenses & Share-Based Payments

 

General and administrative expenses were $8.7 million, compared to $6.2 million in the comparable year, with any increases coming from additional salaries and benefits and office expenses in the period, as result of increased operations in Mexico.

 

Share-based payments were $3.7 million, compared to $2.0 million in the comparable year, an increase of $1.7 million. The increase is a direct result of the timing of stock option and RSU grants, and fluctuations in share price on the grant dates.

 

Other Items

 

Unrealized gain on derivative liability was $1.8 million compared to $0.5 million loss in Q4 2024. This is a direct result of US dollar/Mexican Peso foreign exchange forward contracts entered into mitigate risks surrounding the Company of material foreign exchange movements that could cause the Company to incur material losses.

 

Unrealized foreign exchange loss for the year was $0.7 million, a negative movement of $1.7 million compared to a gain of $1.0 million in the comparable period in 2024. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the period, the Mexican Peso appreciated against the US dollar, with the Canadian dollar remaining constant, resulting in an overall foreign exchange loss for the period. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the US dollar remained constant in relation to the Canadian dollar but depreciated compared to the Mexican peso by the end of first half of the year, resulting in a foreign exchange gain.

 

Current and Deferred Income Taxes

 

Current income tax expense for the period was $11.6 million, compared to a current income tax expense of $6.3 million in the comparable period. The movements are a result of higher profits generated in 2025, resulting in increased income tax expense, whereas in 2024, the Company had losses available to partially offset taxable income in Mexico.

 

 
Page 12

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Deferred income tax expense was $1.7 million, a change of $1.6 million compared to an expense of $0.1 million in 2024. 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

 

Net income was $26.6 million for the period, or $0.18 per basic share and $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.1 million, or $0.06 per share during the comparable period in 2024. The changes are a result of the items noted above, which are primarily increases in revenues, mine operating income and gains on long-term investments between the two comparable periods. The increase was partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses, share-based payments, and foreign exchange loss. Net income was further impacted by movements in the unrealized derivative liability / asset and other expenses.

 

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

 

EBITDA for the year was $43.0 million, an increase of $25.0 million when compared to $18.0 million for the comparable year. 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 Accounting Standards Measures for a reconciliation for EBITDA.

 

Adjusted earnings for the year was $46.5 million, an increase of $25.2 million when compared to adjusted earnings of $21.3 million in the corresponding period in 2024. 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 Standards Measures”)

 

Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $16.13, compared to $14.84 for the comparable period in 2024. 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.

 

All-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold was $23.75, compared to $20.57 in 2024. 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 2024.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

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.

 

Qualified Person(s)

 

Peter Latta, P.Eng, MBA, Vice President, Technical Services, is a qualified person within the context of National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the technical data in this document.

 

Non – IFRS 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

 

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. 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.

 

Cash cost per payable ounce and all-in sustaining cost per payable ounce are measures developed by mining companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard. However, there can be no assurance that our reporting of these non-IFRS 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.

 

 
Page 16

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Cash cost per silver equivalent payable ounce

 

Management believes that the Company’s ability to control the cash cost per silver equivalent payable ounce is one of its key performance drivers impacting both the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Achieving a low silver equivalent production cost base allows the Company to remain profitable from mining operations even during times of low commodity prices, and provides more flexibility in responding to changing market conditions. In addition, a profitable operation results in the generation of positive cash flows, which then improve the Company’s financial condition.

 

The Company’s calculation of all-in sustaining costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $3,219 for the year  ended December 31, 2025 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 Q4 2025, 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 Q4 2025 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Cash and current assets have increased in the current year, as a result of higher metal prices and good cost management, as well as proceeds from the at-the-market (“ATM”) offering. These increases were partly offset by capital re-investment into mining operations at Avino and development and exploration expenditures at La Preciosa. As a result of capital acquisitions, total assets have increased year over year.

 

Total and current liabilities in 2025 compared to prior years increased, with increases mainly due to higher taxes payable from higher operational profits as well as the deferred consideration payable that resulted from the repurchase of the royalty obligations on La Preciosa. The decrease in 2024 is a result of the repayment of the $5 million note payable arising from the La Preciosa acquisition that closed during 2022, as well as reductions in taxes payable and the expiration of the warrants associated with the warrant liability.

 

Share capital and total equity increased year over year as a result of shares issued through the Company’s ATM program, as well as exercises of stock options, with proceeds being used for capital expansion purposes and retirement of existing obligations.

 

Accumulated deficit has decreased year over year as a result of profitable operations. Further details are available on operations in the “Financial Results” sections.

Operating Activities

 

Cash generated by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $27.4 million, an increase of $4.3 million compared to $23.1 million generated for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash movements from operating activities can fluctuate with changes in net income and working capital movements. In the year ended December 31, 2025, cash generated from operating activities increased primarily as a result of increases to net income by $18.5 million, offset primarily by non-cash adjustments for gains on long-term investments and derivatives totalling $4.6 million, as well as smaller movements in other non-cash items.

 

 
Page 20

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash generated by financing activities was $73.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $8.0 million generated for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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 year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received net proceeds from issuance of shares for cash and from options exercise of $76.5 million (December 31, 2024 – $10.1 million). The Company also made lease and equipment loan payments totaling $2.6 million (December 31, 2024 - $2.1 million).

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $26.9 million compared to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash used in investing activities included $26.3 million (December 31, 2024 - $6.6 million) spent on additions to plant, equipment and mining properties and $0.6 million on exploration expenditures (December 31, 2024 - $5.0 million). Additions to plant, equipment and mining properties included $13.25 million spent on the repurchase of royalty obligations on La Preciosa in the current period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash, in both the short term and the long term, to maintain existing capacity and to fund ongoing exploration, is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves or resources and the ability of the Company to continue with sustainable and profitable mining operations.

 

Management expects that the Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements will be funded from cash generated from current operations. 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.

 

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 December 31, 2025, the Company had received gross proceeds of $33 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.

 

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

Since the at-the-market (“2023 ATM”) sales agreement was initiated in Q2 2023 which expired on May 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $20.6 million in connection the 2023 ATM. Proceeds from the 2023 ATM were intended for exploration and evaluation 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 has used the funds as intended.

 

During the period between May 2023 and June 2025, all funds were used for exploration and evaluation activities, the acquisition of sustaining capital equipment and development of the Avino Mine and the repayments of capital equipment acquired under lease and loan. 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) CreditRisk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash, long-term investments and amounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and short- term investments, by maintaining the majority of cash and short-term investments at highly rated financial institutions.

 

The Company is exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its trade accounts receivable balance because all of its concentrate sales are with three (December 31, 2024 – 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 December 31, 2025, no amounts were held as collateral.

 

(b)LiquidityRisk

 

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 December 31, 2025, in the amount of $101,724 and current assets exceeded current liabilities by $99,562 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.

(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 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:

Based on the net US dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at December 31, 2025, a 10% fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the year ended December 31, 2025, by approximately $248 (December 31, 2024 - $144). The Company has entered into certain foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk and during the year ended December 31, 2025, recorded a derivative asset of $1,314 (December 31, 2024 – derivative liability of $475).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

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 December 31, 2025, 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 $743 (December 31, 2024 - $36).

 

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 December 31, 2025, a 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $384 (December 31, 2024 - $119).

 

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 December 31, 2025:

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.

 

Amendments to IAS 21 – Lack of Exchangeability

 

The amendments clarify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. In addition, the amendments require the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to understand the impact of currency not being exchangeable. There was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the adoption of these amendments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Classification and Measurement of Financial instruments

 

The amendments provide guidance on the derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer, as well as the classification of financial assets for: contractual terms consistent with a basic lending arrangement; assets with non-recourse features and contractually linked instruments.

 

Additionally, the amendments introduce new disclosure requirements related to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), and additional disclosures for financial instruments with contingent features.

 

The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 regarding the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments with a mandatory application of the standard on annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. We are currently assessing these standards, and their potential impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

 

Amendments to IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

 

In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions.

 

IFRS 18 regarding the Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements with a mandatory application of the standard on annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. We are currently assessing these standards, and their potential impact on the Company in future reporting periods.

 

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, and by the Canadian Securities Administrators) that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Cautionary Note regarding Reserves and Resources

 

National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators, lays out the standards of disclosure for mineral projects. This includes a requirement that a certified Qualified Person (“QP”) (as defined under the NI 43-101) supervises the preparation of the mineral reserves and mineral resources. Peter Latta, Vice President, Technical Services is a certified QP for the Company and has reviewed this MD&A for QP technical disclosures. All NI 43-101 technical reports can be found on the Company’s website at www.avino.com or under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

 

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 effective as of December 31, 2025.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”)

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Internal controls over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Internal controls over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 

 

Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) (‘COSO’). This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that as of December 31, 2025, 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 effective as of December 31, 2025.

 

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, have been audited by Deloitte LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, and its attestation report on management's assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 appearing immediately preceding the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

 

Our management and the Board of Directors do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable (not absolute) assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design, maintenance and testing of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control gaps and instances of fraud have been detected. These inherent limitations include the reality that judgment in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design, maintenance and testing of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any control system may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
