"In the second quarter, we delivered record revenues as a result of higher metal prices combined with consistent production from our Avino Mine," said Nathan Harte, Chief Financial Officer. "We saw improvements in all key financial metrics compared to Q2 2023, with cash flow generation and operating margins strengthening our cash and working capital positions. This strength will allow us to move forward with our plans at La Preciosa as efficiently as possible, and we look forward to delivering additional value to shareholders along the way."
"We were pleased to see the second quarter rally in metal prices with silver outperforming gold at times," said David Wolfin, President and CEO. "During the quarter, we processed 10,000 tonnes of La Preciosa surface stockpiles with excellent recovery rates, exceeding our expectations. With significantly higher silver grades than were processed at Avino, La Preciosa contributed to the 26% increase in silver ounces produced in the current quarter. This furthers the confidence we have in our strategy to focus on transformational growth with our two mines in Mexico, coupled with the demand for silver, gold and copper. La Preciosa boasts a substantial untapped primary silver resource in Mexico and is situated next-door to Avino's established production operations in Durango, Mexico. The integration of La Preciosa's mineral resource inventory has notably bolstered Avino's overall NI 43-101 mineral resource portfolio to a current total of 371 million silver equivalent ounces."
