• ‍Return to Primary Silver Production: The Company's silver equivalent production consisted of over 50% silver production for the first quarter since the Company was operating the San Gonzalo Mine. This milestone was driven by the processing of development material from its La Preciosa Mine at the Avino processing facility.

‍Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

• Record Treasury & Net Cash Position: At the end of 2025, The Company had a record all-time cash balance of $102 million, an increase of 272% from the end of 2024. This represents the highest balance in the Company's history and positions the Company to execute on its organic growth plans.
• Record Revenues: The Company generated a record $92.2 million, an increase of 39% from 2024, driven by continued higher realized metal prices in 2025. The average silver price realized in 2025 was $44.70 per ounce, much increased from the price of $29.21 realized in 2024.
• Record Mine Operating Income: Mine operating income was $49 million, representing an increase of 109% compared to 2024.
• Record Net Income, Adjusted Earnings & EBITDA: The Company recorded net income of $26.6 million, or $0.17 per share, with adjusted earnings³ up 118% at $46.5 million, or $0.29 per share. EBITDA³ rose significantly and was $43 million, up 138%.

• Consistent Cash Costs and AISC per Silver Equivalent Ounce ("AgEq") ³: Cash costs per AgEq payable ounce sold¹²³ were $16.13, an increase of 9% compared to 2024, while all-in sustaining cash costs per AgEq payable ounce sold¹²³ were $23.75, up 15%. The increase was primarily attributable to processing development material from the Company's La Preciosa Mine, as the Company has not yet commenced production mining activities at La Preciosa. Furthermore, lower AgEq payable ounces were 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 AgEq ounces.

‍"Avino delivered an exceptionally strong performance in 2025, marked by solid operational execution and important milestones that advanced our growth strategy," said David Wolfin, President and CEO. "During the year we continued to generate robust financial results while progressing development at La Preciosa and advancing our broader multi-asset growth strategy in Durango, Mexico. Higher metal prices, improved efficiencies, and disciplined capital management supported our performance, while drill results at La Preciosa exceeded expectations and highlighted the potential of this important asset in our growth plans. Our achievements would not have been possible without the dedication and expertise of our employees and operational teams. Their commitment to safety, innovation, and operational excellence continues to drive Avino forward. As we enter 2026 with a strong balance sheet, growing production profile, and a favourable precious metals market, we believe Avino is well positioned to continue delivering long-term value for our shareholders."

This news release contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements"(together, the "forward looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the mineral resource estimate for the Company's Avino properties, including La Preciosa, located near Durango in west-central Mexico(the "Avino Property") with an effective date of October 16, 2023, and can be viewed within Avino's latest technical report dated February 5, 2024 for the Pre-feasibility Study and references to Measured, Indicated Resources, and Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves referred to in this press release. This information and these statements, referred to herein as "forward-looking statements" are made as of the date of this document. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect current estimates, predictions, expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the estimated amount and grade of mineral reserves and mineral resources, including the cut-off grade; (ii) estimates of the capital costs of constructing mine facilities and bringing a mine into production, of operating the mine, of sustaining capital, of strip ratios and the duration of financing payback periods; (iii) the estimated amount of future production, both ore processed and metal recovered and recovery rates; (iv) estimates of operating costs, life of mine costs, net cash flow, net present value (NPV) and economic returns from an operating mine; and (v) the completion of the full Technical Report, including a Preliminary Economic Assessment, and its timing. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "projects", "estimates", "envisages", "assumes", "intends", "strategy", "goals", "objectives" or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release and the dates of technical reports, as applicable. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the future circumstances, outcomes or results anticipated in or implied by such forward-looking statements will occur or that plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur.

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," "inferred mineral resources", "proven mineral reserves", or "probable mineral reserves" 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.
