Record Net Income, Earnings Per Share, Cash and Working Capital

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2025 / Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:ASM)(NYSE American:ASM)(FSE:GV6) a long-standing silver producer in Mexico, announces its unaudited consolidated interim financial results for the third quarter of 2025. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.

"We are pleased to report another quarter of strong financial performance for Avino," said David Wolfin, President and CEO. "Our third-quarter results reflect the benefits of improved mill availability and the operational discipline consistently demonstrated by our team. Revenue and profitability were underpinned by higher-than-forecasted tonnes milled and continued gains in plant efficiency. With record cash of $57 million and working capital of $51 million, our balance sheet continues to build strength. With three quarters behind us, we are firmly positioned to achieve our 2025 financial and operational targets, as we expect to remain within our production guidance range of 2.5 - 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces. With solid financial results from the Avino Mine, a strong balance sheet, and continued advancement at La Preciosa, we are on track with our transformational growth strategy."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights (compared to Q3 2024)

• Revenues: Avino realized revenues of $21.0 million, representing an increase of 44% from $14.6 million, primarily the result of increased metal prices and marginally higher ounces sold.

• Increased Operating Margins: Gross profit (mine operating income) was $9.9 million and represented an increase of 73%.

• Record Net income: Net income after taxes was $7.7 million, or $0.05 per share, an increase of 559%.

• Strong EBITDA³ and Adjusted Earnings³: The Company realized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA³, of $11.5 million, an increase of 200% from $3.8 million. Adjusted earnings³ were $11.6 million or $0.07 per diluted share, an increase of 134% and 75%, respectively.

• Record Cash and Working Capital³: Avino had $57.3 million in cash at September 30, 2025, and remains debt-free, excluding operating equipment leases and the deferred royalty repurchase payment. Our working capital³ position of $50.8 million and strong balance sheet will provide the foundation to support our transformational growth plan to become a Mexico-focused mid-tier producer.

• Increased Cash Flow: Cash flow provided by operating activities was $8.3 million, an increase of 101%. Prior to working capital adjustments, cash flow provided from operating activities was $7.3 million, an increase of 30%.

• Free Cash Flow Generation³: Free cash flow was $5.4 million, excluding La Preciosa capital costs. Inclusive of La Preciosa, free cash flow was $4.5 million.

• Mine Operating Cash FlowBefore Taxes³: Avino realized $11.0 million, an increase of 65%.

• Costs per Ounce: Cash costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold^1,2,3were $17.09, and all-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold^1,2,3 were $24.06, representing increases of 14% and 9%, respectively. Cost per silver equivalent payable ounce sold^1,2,3 calculations were impacted by higher silver prices and lower copper contribution in Q3 2025. Using budget prices from the beginning of 2025 used for the Company's silver equivalent production guidance, cash costs and all-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent payable ounce sold for Q3 2025 were $15.88 and $22.36, respectively.

Operational and Financial Highlights

3rd Quarter Operating Highlights (Compared to Q3 2024)

• Continued Elevated Mill Throughput: In Q3 2025, Avino achieved 21% higher mill throughput versus Q3 2024, totalling 188,757 tonnes of material. These throughput levels built of 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.

• Silver Equivalent Production Decreased 13%: Avino produced 580,780 silver equivalent ounces in Q3 2025, representing a decrease from Q3 of 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 significantly improved mill availability of 21%.

• Gold Production Increased 19%: Q3 2025 production of 1,935 gold ounces represented a 19% increase compared to Q3 2024. This improved production resulted from the increased tonnes processed, alongside significant improvements in gold recoveries to 74% from 69% in Q3 of 2024.

• Silver and Copper Production Decreased 7% and 26%: Avino produced 263,231 silver ounces and 1.3 million pounds of copper in Q3 2025, a decrease in both metals from Q3 of 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 21%.

TSX Recognition and Index Inclusion

• On September 9, 2025, Avino announced its inclusion in the Toronto Stock Exchange's TSX30^TM. 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.

La Preciosa Development Update

The Gloria and Abundancia veins have been intercepted on the San Fernando ramp that has been driven from surface to Level 3. Over 6,700 tons of mineralized material had been stockpiled as of the end of Q3 2025, and trucking to the Avino Mill for processing is now underway. Subsequent to the end of the quarter we have started processing La Preciosa material through circuit 1, more than one month ahead of schedule. Hiring and training of equipment operators is ongoing and currently employs 70 people working across three shifts. All required mining equipment is on site already and standby equipment has been purchased to ensure continuous operation of site services. Offices and other building infrastructure are also being added. Recent photos showcasing the work at La Preciosa are available on the Avino website - click here to view them.

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 are comprised of:

• a cash payment of US$8.75 million, to be paid no later than 12 months after initial production at La Preciosa;

• 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.

Exploration & Confirmatory Drilling

On August 18, 2025 and October 27, 2025, Avino announced the results of eight 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 the highlights below.

Selected Intercept Highlights:

• Hole PMLP 25-03: 1,638 g/t Ag and 1.92 g/t Au over 7.90 metres true width

  • including 15,352 g/t Ag and 1.55 g/t Au over 0.37 metres true width

• Hole PMLP 25-04: 544 g/t Ag and 0.46 g/t Au over 6.42 metres true width

  • including 1,739 g/t Ag and 0.74 g/t Au over 0.66 metres true width

• Hole PMLP 25-06: 787 g/t Ag and 0.51 g/t Au over 5.22 metres true width

  • including 3,206 g/t Ag and 1.02 g/t Au over 0.77 metres true width

• Hole PMLP 25-08 at Gloria: 306 g/t Ag and 1.15 g/t Au over 3.98 metres true width

  • including 699 g/t Ag and 5.80 g/t Au over 0.63 metres true width

• Hole PMLP 25-08 at Abundancia: 463 g/t Ag and 0.61 g/t Au over 4.00 metres true width

  • including 642 g/t Ag and 0.60 g/t Au over 0.95 metres true width

The variation of grades and thicknesses within relatively short distances (under 10 metres) compared with previously drilled intercepts were expected due to the "pinch and swell" geometry of the La Preciosa veins and the high nugget effects. The drill results exceeded grade expectations and verified the geometry of the current vein-based resource model. Higher grades intersected in the northern portion of the La Gloria Vein (in hole PMLP-25-02) 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 eight (8) holes totalling approximately 2,000 metres drilled at La Preciosa, intersecting the La Gloria vein in all eight holes, the Abundancia vein in seven holes, and additional unnamed and splay veins in four of the 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.

2025 Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures, including lease and loan payments on equipment, and excluding the repurchase of the La Preciosa royalties and associated obligations, for the year-to-date period in 2025, were $11.4 million, compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2024, on track for our capital expenditure guidance previously disclosed in our 2025 outlook news release.

ESG Initiatives

Avino follows the ESG Standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development goals. There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Avino's efforts throughout the quarter contributed to progress on multiple SDG's reflecting our ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable development.

Avino continued developing activities focused on strengthening community ties, improving basic infrastructure, facilitating access to social support programs, and supporting long-term institutional and strategic projects.

Mexican nationals account for 100% of our mine work force. Currently, we provide approximately 559 direct jobs which includes contractors, workers at the mine site and in our Durango offices.

Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources

All reserve and resource estimates reported by Avino were estimated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources," "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" and uses new definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" that are substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. However, the CIM Definition Standards differ from the requirements applicable to US domestic issuers. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources," "indicated mineral resources," or "inferred mineral resources" that the Issuer reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred mineral resources" are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade are estimated on the basis of limited geologic evidence and sampling. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Neither TSX nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
