Metal production85 %

Mine development10 %

Advancement of operating and development-stage mineral properties.

Exploration assets5 %

Acquisition and exploration of mineral properties to build future production.

Customers

Avino sells its metal production into the broader commodities market, where buyers are typically refiners, smelters, trading houses, or metal off-takers. Demand is driven by industrial usage, precious-metals investment demand, and smelting/refining capacity rather than by a narrow end-customer base.

Smelters and refiners

Buy silver-, gold-, and copper-bearing production for processing and resale.

Commodity traders

Purchase or intermediate metal production for physical marketing and logistics.

Industrial copper users

Ultimately consume copper produced from the company's mining operations.

Precious-metals market

Absorbs silver and gold output through bullion and refining channels.

Strategy

Avino’s strategy centers on sustaining production from its operating mine while advancing additional mineral properties for future growth. The portfolio also includes exploration and development assets that can extend mine life, diversify production, and convert the company from a single-asset operator into a broader mining platform.

Sustain operating mine performanceShort term

Current production is the base for cash generation and operating continuity.

Advance development assetsMedium term

Development properties provide future production optionality and reserve growth.

Expand mineral inventoryMedium term

Exploration supports longer mine life and reduces dependence on a single ore body.

Geography

The company is incorporated in Canada and has its principal office in Vancouver, while its operating mining assets are in Durango, Mexico. Its current production base is therefore tied to Mexican mining, permitting, logistics, and local operating conditions, with Canadian and U.S. reporting and capital markets access.

Risks

Avino’s business is exposed to mine operating risk, commodity-price volatility, and country-specific operating conditions in Mexico. As a miner with development and exploration assets, it also faces permitting, geology, reserve estimation, and capital-allocation risk tied to converting resources into production.
