1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
|
| | Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company” or “Avino”) was incorporated in 1968 under the laws of the |
| | Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of silver, gold, and |
| | copper and the acquisition, exploration, and advancement of mineral properties. The Company’s head office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 570 Granvil e Street, Vancouver, BC, |
| | Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and the United States, and trades on the Toronto Stock |
| | Exchange (“TSX”), the NYSE American, and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges. The Company operates the Avino Mine which produces copper, silver and gold at the historic Avino property |
| | in the state of Durango, Mexico. The Company also holds 100% interest in Proyectos Mineros La Preciosa |
| | S.A. de C.V . (“La Preciosa”), a Mexican corporation which owns the La Preciosa Property. The Company also |
| | owns interests in mineral properties located in British Columbia and Yukon, Canada. |
|
| | Risks associated with Public Health Crises, including COVID-19 |
| | |
| | The Company's business, operations and financial condition could be material y adversely affected by the |
| | outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises, such as the outbreak of COVID-19 that was |
| | designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The international response |
| | to the spread of COVID-19 has led to significant restrictions on travel, temporary business closures, |
| | quarantines, global stock market volatility and a general reduction in consumer activity. Such public health |
| | crises can result in operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions, global stock |
| | market and financial market volatility, declining trade and market sentiment, reduced movement of people and |
| | labour shortages, and travel and shipping disruption and shutdowns, including as a result of government |
| | regulation and prevention measures, or a fear of any of the foregoing, all of which could affect commodity |
| | prices, interest rates, credit risk and inflation. In addition, the current COVID-19 pandemic, and any future |
| | emergence and spread of similar pathogens could have an adverse impact on global economic conditions |
| | which may adversely impact the Company's operations, and the operations of suppliers, contractors and |
| | service providers, including smelter and refining service providers, and the demand for the Company's |
| | production. |
| | |
| | The Company may experience business interruptions, including suspended (whether government mandated |
| | or otherwise) or reduced operations relating to COVID-19 and other such events outside of the Company's |
| | control, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, operations and operating results, financial |
| | condition and liquidity. |
| | |
| | As at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the duration of the business |
| | disruptions internationally and related financial impact of COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated. It is |
| | unknown whether and how the Company may be affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period of |
| | time. In particular, the region in which we operate may not have sufficient public infrastructure to adequately |
| | respond or efficiently and quickly recover from such event, which could have a materially adverse effect on |
| | the Company's operations. The Company's exposure to such public health crises also includes risks to |
| | employee health and safety. Should an employee, contractor, community member or visitor become infected |
| | with a serious il ness that has the potential to spread rapidly, this could place the Company's workforce at risk. |

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
|
| | Statement of Compliance |
| | |
| | These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with |
| | International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial |
| | Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These |
| | unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements fol ow the same accounting policies and |
| | methods of application as the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. |
| | These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain al of the information |
| | required for full annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed |
| | consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, |
| | 2021, annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by |
| | the IASB. |
|
| | These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in US dol ars and have |
| | been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. |
| | In addition, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using |
| | the accrual basis of accounting on a going concern basis. The accounting policies set out below have been |
| | applied consistently to al periods presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial |
| | statements as if the policies have always been in effect. |
|
| | Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates |
|
| | The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies |
| | to the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the |
| | preparation of financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of |
| | the impacts on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period |
| | from uncertain future events and on the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting |
| | period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. |
| | Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are |
| | considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting impacts on the |
| | carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. |
|
| | The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed |
| | consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are consistent with |
| | those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year |
| | ended December 31, 2021. |

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
|
| | Application of new and revised accounting standards: |
| | Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16) |
| | The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds |
| | from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable |
| | of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling |
| | such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The amendments are applied on or after |
| | the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early application permitted. The |
| | amendments are applied retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought |
| | to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by |
| | management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the |
| | Company first applies the amendments. This amendment wil impact the Company’s accounting for proceeds |

|
| | Future Changes in Accounting Policies Not Yet Effective as at September 30, 2022: |
| | Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the |
| | current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact |
| | on the Company in the current or future reporting periods. | |
4. ACQUISITION OF LA PRECIOSA |
|
On March 21, 2022, the Company closed the acquisition with Coeur Mining Inc. (“Coeur”) of all of the issued and |
outstanding shares of Proyectos Mineros La Preciosa S.A de C.V, a Mexican corporation, and Cervantes LLC, a |
Delaware LLC, that together hold the La Preciosa property in Mexico (“La Preciosa”). |
|
Total consideration paid to Coeur was comprised of: |
a) Cash consideration of $15.3 mil ion paid; |
b) A promissory note for $5 mil ion in favour of Coeur, payable without interest on or before March 21, 2023; |
c) 14,000,000 common shares of Avino, with a value of $13.65 mil ion on issuance; |
d) 7,000,000 share purchase warrants with a total value at $2.24 mil ion exercisable at $1.09 per share until |
| | September 21, 2023, representing a 25% premium to Avino’s 20-day volume weighted average trading price |
| | as of October 26, 2021; |
| | |
Additionally, Avino issued the fol owing consideration for which payment is contingent on a future event and due to |
acquisition date uncertainty these are valued at Nil. A liability for these contingent payments wil be recognized |
when related activity and events occur. |
|
e) An additional cash payment of $8.75 mil ion, to be paid no later than 12 months after initial production at La |
| | Preciosa, up to one-half of which may be paid in common shares of Avino (provided Coeur’s total |
| | shareholdings cannot exceed 19.9% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares); |
f) A 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on the Gloria and Abundancia areas of La Preciosa, and a 2.00% gross |
| | value royalty on al other areas of La Preciosa; and |
g) A payment of $0.25 per silver equivalent ounce (subject to inflationary adjustment) of new mineral reserves |
| | (as defined by NI 43-101) discovered and declared outside of the current mineral resource area at La |
| | Preciosa, subject to a cap of $50 mil ion, and any such payments wil be credited against any existing or |
| | future payments owing on the gross value royalty. |
|
The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as La Preciosa is in the exploration and evaluation |
stage and had not demonstrated technical feasibility, commercial viability, or the ability to provide economic |
benefits. La Preciosa did not have the workforce, resources and/or reserves, mine plan, or financial resources to |
meet the definition of a business for accounting purposes. |

| | shares in the Company for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the |

| | discount interest rate of 6.71%. |
| | |
| | The note is unsecured and non-interest bearing assuming that the note is repaid in full on or before March |
| | 21, 2023. If the note is not repaid by March 21, 2023, a sum of $1 mil ion shal be added to the principal |

13. WARRANT LIABILITY |
|
| | The Company’s warrant liability arises as a result of the issuance of warrants exercisable in US dollars. As |
| | the denomination is different from the Canadian dol ar functional currency of the entity issuing the underlying |
| | shares, the Company recognizes a derivative liability for these warrants and re-measures the liability at the |
| | end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes model. Changes in respect of the Company’s warrant |
| | liability are as follows: |
| | |
| | | | September 30, | | December 31, |
| | | | | 2022 | | 2021 |
| | Balance at beginning of the period | | $ | 741 | $ | 2,295 |
| | Warrants issued | | | 2,240 | | - |
| | Fair value adjustment | | | (2,692) | | (1,581) |
| | Effect of movement in exchange rates | | | (71) | | 27 |
| | Balance at end of the period | | $ | 218 | $ | 741 |
| | |
| | Continuity of warrants during the periods is as follows: |
| | | | Underlying | | | | Weighted Average |
| | | | Shares | | Exercise Price |
| | Warrants outstanding and exercisable, January 1, 2021 | | 2,980,774 | | | $0.80 |
| | Exercised | | (1,030,362) | | | $0.80 |
| | Warrants outstanding and exercisable, December 31, 2021 | | 1,950,412 | | | $0.80 |
| | Issued | | 7,000,000 | | | $1.09 |

| | | | | | | | | | 8,950,412 | 1,950,412 |
| | |
| | As at September 30, 2022, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 0.98 |
| | years (December 31, 2021 – 1.73 years). |
|
| | Valuation of the warrant liability requires the use of estimates and assumptions including the expected stock |
| | price volatility. The expected volatility used in valuing warrants is based on volatility observed in historical |
| | periods. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value |
| | of the warrant liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the fol owing weighted average |
| | assumptions and resulting fair values: |
| | |
| | | | September 30, | | December 31, |
| | | | | 2022 | | 2021 |
| | Weighted average assumptions: | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.76% | | 0.91% |
| | Expected dividend yield | | | 0% | | 0% |
| | Expected warrant life (years) | | | 0.98 | | 1.73 |
| | Expected stock price volatility | | | 55.79% | | 83.13% |
| | Weighted average fair value | | | $0.02 | | $0.38 |
|
| | During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded no realized loss on the exercise |
| | of warrants (December 31, 2021 - $1,106, as result of the exercise of 1,030,362 warrants for the issuance of |
| | 1,030,362 common shares). | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | $726), and the undiscounted value of the obligation is $1,292 (December 31, 2021 – $1,252). |
| | |
| | The present value of the obligation was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 7.78% (December 31, |
| | 2021 – 7.78%) and an inflation rate of 7.36% (December 31, 2021 – 7.36%). Reclamation activities are |

(d) Restricted Share Units: |
|
| | On April 19, 2018, the Company’s Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan was approved by its shareholders. |
| | The RSU Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee under the supervision of the Board of |
| | Directors as compensation to officers, directors, consultants, and employees. The Compensation |
| | Committee determines the terms and conditions upon which a grant is made, including any performance |
| | criteria or vesting period. |
| | |
| | Upon vesting, each RSU entitles the participant to receive one common share, provided that the |
| | participant is continuously employed with or providing services to the Company. RSUs track the value of |
| | the underlying common shares, but do not entitle the recipient to the underlying common shares until |
| | such RSUs vest, nor do they entitle a holder to exercise voting rights or any other rights attached to |
| | ownership or control of the common shares, until the RSU vests and the RSU participant receives |
| | common shares. |

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
|
| | The fair values of the Company’s amounts due to related parties and accounts payable approximate their |
| | carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, amounts receivable, long-term |
| | investments, and warrant liability are recorded at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s term |
| | facility, equipment loans, and finance lease obligations are a reasonable approximation of their fair values |
| | based on current market rates for similar financial instruments. |
| | |
| | The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, |
| | and market risk. |
|
| | (a) Credit Risk |
| | |
| | Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument wil cause a financial loss for the other party |
| | by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash, long-term |
| | investments and amounts receivable. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and short- |
| | term investments, by maintaining the majority of cash and short-term investments at highly rated financial |
| | institutions. |
| | |
| | The Company is exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its trade accounts |
| | receivable balance because primarily all of its concentrate sales are with two (December 31, 2021 – two) |
| | counterparties (see Note 21). However, the Company has not recorded any al owance against its trade |
| | receivables because to-date all balances owed have been settled in ful when due (typically within 60 |
| | days of submission) and because of the nature of the counterparties. |
| | |
| | The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of any period is equal to the carrying amount |
| | of these financial assets as recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of |
| | financial position. At September 30, 2022, no amounts were held as collateral. |
|
| | (b) Liquidity Risk |
|
| | Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company wil encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they |
| | become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by its operating, |
| | investing and financing activities. The Company had cash at September 30, 2022, in the amount of |

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except where otherwise noted) |
|
| | $10,920 and working capital of $12,273 in order to meet short-term business requirements. Accounts |
| | payable have contractual maturities of approximately 30 to 90 days, or are due on demand and are subject |
| | to normal trade terms. The current portions of note payable and finance lease obligations are due within |
| | 12 months of the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position date. Amounts due to |
| | related parties are without stated terms of interest or repayment. |
|
| | The maturity profiles of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as at September 30, |
| | 2022, are summarized as follows: |
| | | Less Than | | More Than 5 |
| | | Total | | 1 Year | 1-5 years | | Years |
| | Accounts payable and |
| | accrued liabilities | | | | | $ 5,611 | $ 5,611 | $ - | $ - |

| | Total | | | | | $ 12,755 | $ 11,722 | $ 1,033 | $ - |
|
| | (c) Market Risk |
|
| | Market risk consists of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. These are discussed further |
| | below. |
|
| | Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk consists of two components: (i) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are |
| | affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate |
| | cash flow risk. |
| | (ii) To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rates on the Company’s |
| | monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk. |
| | |
| | In management’s opinion, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily on its outstanding term |
| | facility, as the interest rate is subject to floating rates of interest. A 10% change in the interest rate would |
| | not a result in a material impact on the Company’s operations. |
| | |
| | Foreign Currency Risk |
| | |
| | Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument wil fluctuate |
| | due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent |
| | that the following monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Mexican pesos and Canadian dol ars: |

| | US dollar equivalent | | | | | $ | (609) $ | | | | 1,409 $ | (2,363) $ | | (4,054) |
| | |
| | Based on the net US dol ar denominated asset and liability exposures as at September 30, 2022, a 10% |
| | fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings |
| | for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, by approximately $67 (year ended December 31, 2021 |
| | - $143). The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk. |
| | |
| | Price Risk |
| | |
| | Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument wil fluctuate due to |
| | changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. |
| | |
| | The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its amounts receivable, as certain trade accounts |
| | receivable are recorded based on provisional terms that are subsequently adjusted according to quoted |
| | metal prices at the date of final settlement. Quoted metal prices are affected by numerous factors beyond |
| | the Company’s control and are subject to volatility, and the Company does not employ hedging strategies |
| | to limit its exposure to price risk. At September 30, 2022, based on outstanding accounts receivable that |
| | were subject to pricing adjustments, a 10% change in metals prices would have an impact on net earnings |
| | (loss) of approximately $69 (December 31, 2021 - $26). |
| | |
| | The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to its long-term investments, as these investments are |
| | carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Changes in market prices result in gains or losses |
| | being recognized in net income (loss). At September 30, 2022, a 10% change in market prices would |
| | have an impact on net earnings (loss) of approximately $132 (December 31, 2021 - $330). |
| | |
| | The Company’s profitability and ability to raise capital to fund exploration, evaluation and production |
| | activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in mineral prices. Management closely monitors |
| | commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course |
| | of action to be taken by the Company. |
| | |
| | | | | | | | | | | (d) Classification of Financial Instruments |
|
| | IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to |
| | valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: |
| | |
| | Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| | Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, |
| | either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and |
| | Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable |
| | inputs). |
