Avino Reports Q2 2026 Production Results

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. reported its second quarter of 2026 production results with 267,305 ounces of silver, 2,178 ounces of gold, and 729,929 pounds of copper, totaling 534,945 silver equivalent ounces. President David Wolfin noted a 59% increase in silver production from La Preciosa. The mill performance exceeded expectations, and contributions from La Preciosa's ore increased, underpinning Avino's growth plans. The company anticipates a higher production in the second half of 2026.

Production highlights include optimization at La Preciosa, where ore processing was above plan, despite lower-grade ore leading to a decrease in copper production. Avino's total mill throughput remained consistent, with the mill processing 184,293 tonnes.

In Q2, development and preparation work at La Preciosa allowed for enhanced ore processing. Exploration at La Preciosa is ongoing, with 6,591 meters drilled out of a planned 15,000 meters. Avino's recent mineral reserve update highlighted 127 million silver equivalent ounces.
