Bulk Sampling Program At San Gonzalo 
 

VANCOUVER – Avino Silver and Gold Mines reported on further progress from the bulk sampling program at Avino’s San Gonzalo mine 85Km North east of Durango, Mexico.

Avino has been developing two stopes 2-080 and 2-140 above the 2260 level. To date approximately 10,000 tonnes have been mined and stockpiled. The mill has been processing development rock from the initial drift along the San Gonzalo vein on the 2260 level but will start on the stockpiled rock from the stopes by the end of this week. There is approximately 1500 tonnes left to mine from the two stopes as part of the bulk sample but Avino has been extending level 2260 to the South east along the San Gonzalo vein structure towards drill hole SG-07-33. This hole drilled from surface in 2007 intersected 116.15 to 122.70m (6.55m) 0.76 g/t gold 141 g/t silver. A new stope will be started on this area of the San Gonzalo vein. The company’s address is Suite 400, 455 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1T1, (604) 682-3701, fax: (604) 682-3600.
