AVINO SILVER & GOLD MINES LTD.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

(Expressed in US dollars, except where otherwise noted)

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 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada and the United States, and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”), the NYSE MKT, and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges.

The Company owns interests in mineral properties located in Durango, Mexico, as well as in British Columbia and the Yukon, Canada. On October 1, 2012, the Company commenced production of silver and gold at levels intended by management at its San Gonzalo Mine, and on April 1, 2016, the Company commenced production of copper, silver, and gold at levels intended by management at its Avino Mine; both mines are located on the historic Avino property in the state of Durango, Mexico.

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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company, except as described under “Basis of Presentation” below and in Note 4 with respect to the change in presentation currency. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2016, annual consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in US dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these 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 all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements as if the policies have always been in effect, except for the change in presentation currency as described below and in Note 4.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in US dollars. The Company changed its presentation currency to US dollars from Canadian dollars effective January 1, 2017, as described in Note 4. The functional currency of the Company and its Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar, while the functional currency of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries is the US dollar.

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 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.

- 6 -

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)

The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017, are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, except for the change in presentation currency as described above and in Note 4.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries as follows:

Subsidiary	Ownership Interest		Jurisdiction	Nature of Operations
Oniva Silver and Gold Mines S.A. de C.V.		100%	Mexico	Mexican operations and administration
Promotora Avino, S.A. de C.V. (“Promotora”)		79.09%	Mexico	Holding company
Compañía Minera Mexicana de Avino, S.A. de C.V. (“Avino Mexico”)		98.45% direct 1.22% indirect (Promotora) 99.67% effective	Mexico	Mining and exploration
Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd.		100%	Canada	Mining and exploration

Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Changes in accounting standards not yet effective:

The Company has not early adopted any amendment, standard or interpretation that has been issued by the IASB but is not yet effective. The following accounting standards were issued but not yet effective as of June 30, 2017:

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") which supersedes IAS 11 – Construction Contracts, IAS 18 – Revenue, IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 – Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive five-step model framework for the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s preliminary assessment is that the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the recognition or measurement of revenue, and that the standard will require additional disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As facts and circumstances may change during the period leading up to the initial date of recognition, the Company’s assessment of the potential impact is subject to change.

- 7 -

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) to replace IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking ‘expected-loss’ impairment model, as well as a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The classification of financial assets and liabilities is expected to remain consistent under IFRS 9, with the possible exception of equity securities. Under IFRS 9, the Company will have the option to designate equity securities as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. If the Company does not make this election, changes in the fair value of equity securities will continue to be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with the Company’s current policy.

The introduction of the new ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model is not expected to have an impact on the Company, given the Company sells its concentrate to large international organizations with a negligible historical level of customer default, and the corresponding receivables from these sales are short term in nature.

The Company expects the above potential changes to be the only impacts, as the Company currently has no financial instruments designated as hedging arrangements under IAS 39.

The above assessments were made based on an analysis of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities at June 30, 2017, on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at that date. As facts and circumstances may change during the period leading up to the initial date of application, the Company’s assessment of the potential impact is subject to change.

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments – Disclosure

IFRS 7 was amended to require additional disclosures on transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. The standard is effective on adoption of IFRS 9, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 16 – Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”) which replaces IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance, and will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, provided the Company has adopted IFRS 15. This standard sets out a new model for lease accounting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.

4. CHANGE IN PRESENTATION CURRENCY

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company changed its presentation currency in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements to US dollars from Canadian dollars. The Company believes that the change in presentation currency will provide shareholders with a better reflection of the Company’s business activities and enhance the comparability of the Company’s financial information to peers. The change in presentation currency represents a voluntary change in accounting policy which is accounted for retrospectively. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for all periods presented have been translated into the new presentation currency in accordance with IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

4. CHANGE IN PRESENTATION CURRENCY (continued)

The condensed consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows have been translated into the presentation currency using the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period. In the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position, all assets and liabilities have been translated using the period-end exchange rates, and all resulting exchange differences have been recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Asset and liability amounts previously reported in Canadian dollars have been translated into US dollars as at January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016, using the period-end exchange rates of 1.3840 CAD/USD and 1.3427 CAD/USD, respectively, and shareholders’ equity balances have been translated using historical rates in effect on the date of the transactions.

5. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

The Company’s short-term investments consist of term deposits maturing within one year, with an interest rate of 0.8%. All term deposits are redeemable at any time without penalty.

At June 30, 2017, the Company’s short-term investments totalled $7,500,000 (December 31, 2016 - $10,000,000; January 1, 2016 - $Nil).

8. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

Additional information on the Company’s exploration and evaluation properties by region is as follows:

(a) Durango, Mexico

The Company’s subsidiary Avino Mexico owns 42 mineral claims and leases four mineral claims in the state of Durango, Mexico. The Company’s mineral claims in Mexico are divided into the following four groups:

(i) Avino mine area property

The Avino mine area property is situated around the towns of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de Avino and surrounding the historic Avino mine site. There are four exploration concessions covering 154.4 hectares, 24 exploitation concessions covering 1,284.7 hectares, and one leased exploitation concession covering 98.83 hectares. Within the Avino mine site area is the Company’s San Gonzalo Mine, which achieved production at levels intended by management as of October 1, 2012, and on this date accumulated exploration and evaluation costs were transferred to mining properties.

(ii) Gomez Palacio property

The Gomez Palacio property is located near the town of Gomez Palacio, and consists of nine exploration concessions covering 2,549 hectares.

(iii) Santiago Papasquiaro property

The Santiago Papasquiaro property is located near the village of Santiago Papasquiaro, and consists of four exploration concessions covering 2,552.6 hectares and one exploitation concession covering 602.9 hectares.

(iv) Unification La Platosa properties

The Unification La Platosa properties, consisting of three leased concessions in addition to the leased concession described in note (i) above, are situated within the Avino mine area property near the towns of Panuco de Coronado and San Jose de Avino and surrounding the Avino Mine.

In February 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary entered into a new agreement with Minerales de Avino, S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales”) whereby Minerales has indirectly granted to the Company the exclusive right to explore and mine the La Platosa property known as the “ET zone”. The ET zone includes the Avino Mine, where production at levels intended by management was achieved on April 1, 2016.

Under the agreement, the Company has obtained the exclusive right to explore and mine the property for an initial period of 15 years, with the option to extend the agreement for another 5 years. In consideration of the granting of these rights, the Company issued 135,189 common shares with a fair value of $250,100 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

- 11 -

8. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

(a) Durango, Mexico (continued)

(iv) Unification La Platosa properties (continued)

The Company has agreed to pay to Minerales a royalty equal to 3.5% of net smelter returns (“NSR”). In addition, after the start of production, if the minimum monthly processing rate of the mine facilities is less than 15,000 tonnes, then the Company must pay to Minerales a minimum royalty equal to the applicable NSR royalty based on the processing at a monthly rate of 15,000 tonnes.

Minerales has also granted to the Company the exclusive right to purchase a 100% interest in the property at any time during the term of the agreement (or any renewal thereof), upon payment of $8 million within 15 days of the Company’s notice of election to acquire the property. The purchase would be subject to a separate purchase agreement for the legal transfer of the property.

The Company commenced production at levels intended by management at the Avino Mine on April 1, 2016. In connection with the transition to production at levels intended by management, the Company assessed the $7,011,990 estimated carrying value of Avino Mine exploration and evaluation assets for impairment and determined that the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value of the CGU. The Company subsequently transferred the carrying value to inventory in the amount of $2,538,740 and to mining properties in the amount of $4,473,250.

In the periods before production at levels intended by management had been achieved, the Company recorded in its statement of financial position the costs of extracting and processing mineralized material from the Avino Mine as exploration and evaluation costs, and recorded a reduction to the carrying value of those costs for any proceeds from sales of Avino Mine concentrate. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reduced its exploration and evaluation costs in the consolidated statement of financial position by $4,587,005 from sales of 2,603 tonnes of Avino Mine copper/silver/gold concentrate, prior to commencing production at levels intended by management on April 1, 2016.

(b) British Columbia, Canada

(i) Bralorne Mine

The Company owns a 100% undivided interest in certain mineral properties located in the Lillooet Mining Division. There is an underlying agreement on 12 crown grants in which the Company is required to pay 1.6385% of net smelter proceeds of production from the claims, and pay fifty cents Canadian (C$0.50) per ton of ore produced from these claims if the ore grade exceeds 0.75 ounces per ton gold.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company acquired land and mineral claims for the Bralorne Mine project in connection with ongoing plans for exploration and potential expansion. The acquisitions included nine mineral claims covering approximately 2,114 hectares in the Lillooet Mining Division of British Columbia (the “BRX Property”), for which the Company paid $48,410 and issued 10,000 common shares at their TSX-V market value of $22,347. The BRX Property carries a 1% net smelter returns royalty to a maximum of C$250,000, and a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty.

8. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (continued)

(b) British Columbia, Canada (continued)

(ii) Minto and Olympic-Kelvin properties

The Company’s mineral claims in British Columbia encompass two additional properties, Minto and Olympic-Kelvin, each of which consists of 100% owned Crown-granted mineral claims located in the Lillooet Mining Division.

(c) Yukon, Canada

The Company has a 100% interest in 14 quartz leases located in the Mayo Mining Division of Yukon, Canada which collectively comprise the Eagle property.

Subsequent to June 30, 2017, an option agreement was signed between Avino and Alexco Resource Corp. (“Alexco”), granting Alexco the right to acquire a 65% interest in 14 quartz mining leases located in the Mayo District, Yukon Territory, Canada, known as the “Eagle Property”. To exercise the option, Alexco must pay Avino a total of $70,000 in instalments over 4 years, issue Avino a total of 70,000 Alexco common shares in instalments over 4 years, incur $550,000 in exploration work by the second anniversary of the option agreement date, and a further $2.2 million in exploration work on the Eagle Property by the fourth anniversary of the option agreement date.

In the event that Alexco earns its 65% interest in the Eagle Property, Alexco and Avino will form a joint venture for the future exploration and development of the Eagle Property, and may contribute towards expenditures in proportion to their interests (65% Alexco / 35% Avino). If either company elects to not contribute its share of costs, then its interest will be diluted. If either company’s joint venture interest is diluted to less than 10%, its interest will convert to a 5.0% net smelter returns royalty, subject to the other’s right to buy-down the royalty to 2.0% for $2.5 million. The Eagle Property was previously inactive and held by Avino as a non-essential asset to its current operations.

9. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

At June 30, 2017, the Company had an effective 99.67% (December 31, 2016 - 99.67%; January 1, 2016 – 99.67%) interest in its subsidiary Avino Mexico and the remaining 0.33% (December 31, 2016 - 0.33%; January 1, 2016 – 0.33%) interest represents a non-controlling interest. The accumulated deficit and current period income attributable to the non-controlling interest are insignificant and accordingly have not been recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Pursuant to the agreement, in August 2015, Avino commenced selling concentrates produced at the Avino Mine on an exclusive basis to Samsung, for a period of 24 months. Samsung pays for the concentrates at the prevailing metal prices for their silver, copper, and gold content at or about the time of delivery, less treatment, refining, shipping and insurance charges.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company and Samsung agreed to amend the term facility. Under the amendment, the Company made one repayment of $666,666 in June 2016, and began repaying the remaining balance in 14 equal monthly instalments in June 2017. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company is to sell Avino Mine concentrates on an exclusive basis to Samsung until December 2019. The facility is secured by the concentrates produced under the agreement and by the common shares of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd.

The facility with Samsung relates to the sale of concentrates produced from the Avino Mine only and does not include concentrates produced from the San Gonzalo Mine that are sold to Samsung.

16. 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 dollar 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.

A reconciliation of the changes in the warrant liability during the six months ended June 30, 2017, and year ended December 31, 2016, is as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2017		2016
Balance at beginning of the period	$	1,629,797	$	-
Warrants issued during the period		-		1,637,887
Fair value adjustment		367,388		(8,090	)
Effect of movement in exchange rates		66,878		-
Balance at end of the period	$	2,064,063	$	1,629,797

Continuity of warrants during the periods is as follows:

	Underlying Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Warrants outstanding and exercisable, January 1, 2016		1,033,059		$	2.87
Issued		3,602,215		$	1.99
Warrants outstanding and exercisable, December 31, 2016		4,635,274		$	2.19
Expired		(1,033,059	)	$	2.87
Warrants outstanding and exercisable, June 30, 2017		3,602,215		$	1.99

Warrants outstanding and exercisable as at June 30, 2017 are as follows:

			Warrants Outstanding and Exercisable
Expiry Date	Exercise Price per Share		June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		January 1, 2016
February 25, 2017	$	2.87		-		1,033,059		1,033,059
March 14, 2019	$	1.00		40,000		40,000		-

				3,602,215		4,635,274		1,033,059

As at June 30, 2017, the weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding was 2.41 years (December 31, 2016 – 2.29 years; January 1, 2016 – 1.14 years).

- 19 -

16. WARRANT LIABILITY (continued)

Valuation of the warrant liability requires the use of highly subjective 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 following weighted average assumptions and resulting fair values:

	June 30, 2017			December 31, 2016			January 1, 2016
Weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate		1.10	%		0.67	%		0.48	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%
Expected option life (years)		2.41			2.29			1.14
Expected stock price volatility		70.41	%		72.66	%		46.02	%
Weighted average fair value	$	0.65		$	0.35		$	0.00

17. RECLAMATION PROVISION

Management’s estimate of the reclamation provision at June 30, 2017, is $11,127,573 (December 31, 2016 – $6,962,911, January 1, 2016 – $4,369,486), and the undiscounted value of the obligation is $16,926,215 (December 31, 2016 – $7,634,138, January 1, 2016 – $4,906,656).

The present value of the obligation in Mexico of $1,478,052 (December 31, 2016 – $1,232,626; January 1, 2016 – $1,509,344) was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 7.00% (December 31, 2016 – 7.00%; January 1, 2016 – 7.00%) and an inflation rate of 4.25% (December 31, 2016 – 4.25%; January 1, 2016 – 4.25%). Reclamation activities are estimated to begin in 2019 for the San Gonzalo Mine and in 2028 for the Avino Mine.

The present value of the obligation for Bralorne of $9,649,521 (December 31, 2016 – $5,730,285; January 1, 2016 – $2,860,142) was calculated using a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 3.46% (December 31, 2016 – 4.39%; January 1, 2016 – 3.00%) and a weighted average inflation rate of 1.67% (December 31, 2016 – 1.79%; January 1, 2016 – 2.45%).

(d) Restricted Share Units:

On May 27, 2016, 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.

At June 30, 2017, there were 773,824 RSUs outstanding (December 31, 2016 – 787,500; January 1, 2016 – Nil). None of the RSUs had vested as at June 30, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company charged $489,994 (June 30, 2016 - $Nil) to operations as share-based payments and capitalized $22,691 (December 31, 2016 - $13,617) to exploration and evaluation assets for the fair value of the RSUs issued. The fair value of the RSUs is recognized over the vesting period with reference to vesting conditions and the estimated RSUs expected to vest.

23. 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, short- and 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 will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash, short-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 all of its concentrate sales are with three (December 31, 2016 – three) counterparties. However, the Company has not recorded any allowance against its trade receivables because to-date all balances owed have been settled in full 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 consolidated statement of financial position. At June 30, 2017, no amounts were held as collateral.

23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

(b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will 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 June 30, 2017, in the amount of $5,914,408 (December 31, 2016 - $11,779,718, January 1, 2016 - $5,401,109) in order to meet short-term business requirements. At June 30, 2017, the Company had current liabilities of $14,040,431 (December 31, 2016 - $11,822,290, January 1, 2016 - $10,147,559) and working capital of $17,686,701 (December 31, 2016 - $23,306,043, January 1, 2016 - $4,337,827). 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 term facility, equipment loans, 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 June 30, 2017, are summarized as follows:

(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:

(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 not exposed to significant interest rate cash flow risk as the Company’s term facility, equipment loans, and finance lease obligations bear interest at fixed rates.

(c) Market Risk (continued)

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will 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 (“MXN”) and Canadian dollars (“C$”):

	June 30, 2017						December 31, 2016
	MXN			C$			MXN			C$
Cash	$	14,340,813		$	(339,265	)	$	15,997,014		$	270,562
Long-term investments		-			45,663			-			35,873
Reclamation bonds		-			645,500			-			145,500
Amounts receivable		-			94,779			-			52,779
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(24,261,865	)		(620,468	)		(21,006,749	)		(1,249,038	)
Due to related parties		-			(235,264	)		-			(267,726	)
Equipment loans		-			(1,106,432	)		-			(1,423,042	)
Finance lease obligations		(1,174,445	)		(1,241,713	)		(865,526	)		(1,465,333	)
Net exposure		(11,095,497	)		(2,757,200	)		(5,875,261	)		(3,900,425	)
US dollar equivalent	$	(620,238	)	$	(2,124,681	)	$	(284,363	)	$	(2,904,910	)

Based on the net Mexican peso and Canadian dollar denominated asset and liability exposures as at June 30, 2017, a 10% fluctuation in the US/Mexican and Canadian/US exchange rates would impact the Company’s earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017, by approximately $64,200 (year ended December 31, 2016 - $350,984). 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 will 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 accounts 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 June 30, 2017, 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) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of approximately $305,635 (year ended December 31, 2016 - $573,458).

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). A 10% change in market prices would have an impact on net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2107of approximately $3,422 (year ended December 31, 2016 - $2,707).

23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

(c) Market Risk (continued)

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).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2017:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial assets
Cash	$	5,914,408	$	-	$	-
Short-term investments		7,500,000		-		-
Amounts receivable		-		2,979,502		-
Long-term investments		35,188		-		-
Financial liabilities

Total financial assets and liabilities	$	13,449,596	$	2,979,502	$	(2,064,063	)

24. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017, of $16,039,251 are all attributable to Mexico, from shipments of concentrate produced by the Avino Mine and the San Gonzalo Mine.

1. *For comparison purposes, the silver equivalent ratio has been calculated using metal prices of $17.26 oz Ag, $1,257 oz Au and $2.57 Lb Cu. Mill production figures have not been reconciled and are subject to adjustment with concentrate sales. Calculated figures may not add up due to rounding.

2. “Silver equivalent ounces sold” for the purposes of cash costs and all-in sustaining costs consists of the sum of silver ounces, gold ounces and copper tonnes sold multiplied by the ratio of the average spot gold and copper prices to the average spot silver price for the corresponding period.

3. The Company reports non-IFRS measures which include cash cost per silver equivalent ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce, and cash flow per share. These measures are widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning and the calculation methods may differ from methods used by other companies with similar reported measures.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company produced 5,011 tonnes of bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate from its Avino Mine, and 1,426 tonnes of bulk silver/gold concentrate from its San Gonzalo Mine, and recognized revenues of $12,057,250 on the sale of 4,595 tonnes of Avino Mine bulk copper/silver/gold concentrate and $3,982,001 on the sale of 1,335 tonnes of San Gonzalo bulk silver/gold concentrate for a gross profit of $5,942,622. Metal prices for revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017, averaged $17.37 per ounce of silver, $1,244 per ounce of gold, and $5,775 per tonne of copper.

Cash cost per silver equivalent (“AgEq”) ounce for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was $8.90, while all-in sustaining cash cost per AgEq ounce was $10.42.

The Company’s cash balance at June 30, 2017, totaled $5,914,408 compared to $11,779,718 at December 31, 2016. Working capital totaled $17,686,701 at June 30, 2017, compared to $23,306,043 at December 31, 2016.

*For comparison purposes, the silver equivalent ratio has been calculated using metal prices of $17.26 oz Ag, $1,257 oz Au and $2.57 Lb Cu. Mill production figures have not been reconciled and are subject to adjustment with concentrate sales. Calculated figures may not add up due to rounding.

Avino Mine Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

1. The tonnage processed increased by 20% due to circuits #2 and #3 being used exclusively for the processing of the Avino mine material. The mill availability rate increased by 13% over the second quarter of 2016, during which time there were mechanical issues with the ball mill of circuit #3. In the second quarter 2017, we opted to mine by slashing the vein to provide mill feed; therefore, the mine development decreased by 38%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017

2. Silver and gold feed grades increased by 19% and 106%, respectively, while the copper grade decreased by 10% due to the change in mineralization.

3. Gold recovery improved by 14% due to the higher feed grade realized, while the silver and copper recoveries remained stable with minor changes seen.

4. The higher tonnage processed resulted in 18% more concentrate produced, although the copper feed grade decreased by 9%.

5. Gold production increased by 181%, while silver and copper increased by 43% and 7%, respectively.

6. The higher tonnage processed, together with the higher silver and feed grades, resulted in 50% more silver equivalent ounces produced.

Under National Instrument 43-101, the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI 43-101 reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments, or feasibility studies, and historically projects without such reports have increased uncertainty and risk of economic viability. The Company's decision to place a mine into operation at levels intended by management, expand a mine, make other production-related decisions, or otherwise carry out mining and processing operations is largely based on internal non-public Company data, and on reports based on exploration and mining work by the Company and by geologists and engineers engaged by the Company. The results of this work are evident in the Company's discovery of the San Gonzalo resource, and in the Company's record of mineral production and financial returns since operations at levels intended by management commenced at the San Gonzalo Mine in 2012. This approach is being applied for the Avino Mine, for which similar risks and uncertainties have been identified.

San Gonzalo Mine Second Quarter 2017 Production Highlights

Comparative figures for the second quarter 2017 and the second quarter 2016 for the San Gonzalo mine are as follows:

	Q2 2017			Q2 2016			Quarterly Change %			YTD 2017			Notes

San Gonzalo Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

1. Tonnage mined and processed decreased by 14% and 41%, respectively, due to circuit #2 being used for the Avino mine material.

2. The silver in the feed grade increased by 17% whereas the gold grade decreased by 10%.

3. The gold recovery improved by 5% while the silver recovery decreased slightly by 2%.

4. Concentrate tonnage produced also decreased by 42% due to the lower tonnage processed and the increased grades of silver and gold in the concentrate of 19% and 16%, respectively.

5. The lower tonnage throughput, together with the changes in the feed grades and recoveries, resulted in a decrease of silver ounces by 32%, gold by 44% and overall silver equivalent by 35%.

Under National Instrument 43-101, the Company is required to disclose that it has not based its production decisions on NI 43-101-compliant reserve estimates, preliminary economic assessments, or feasibility studies, and historically projects without such reports have increased uncertainty and risk of economic viability. The Company's decision to place a mine into operation at levels intended by management, expand a mine, make other production-related decisions, or otherwise carry out mining and processing operations is largely based on internal non-public Company data, and on reports based on exploration and mining work by the Company and by geologists and engineers engaged by the Company. The results of this work are evident in the Company's discovery of the San Gonzalo and Avino Mine resources, and in the Company's record of mineral production and financial returns since operations at levels intended by management commenced at the San Gonzalo Mine in 2012.

Plant and Mine Expansion Updates

Mill Expansion – Circuit #4

The addition of Circuit #4, which is expected to have a similar throughput capacity of 1,000 tpd as Circuit #3 (with the same size ball mill, flotation cells, concentrate thickener, and filter press), is on schedule and on budget.

The civil work for the ball mill foundation, feed conveyor, and the reclaim tunnel has commenced, and the forming and rebar work has started with the ball mill pedestals. The pad for the flotation cells, as well as the thickener foundations, has been poured. In addition, the electrical substation has been installed, and wiring of the electrical components is well underway.

The Company acquired a previously used ball mill in excellent condition which has arrived on site and is currently being prepped for installation. The Company has also ordered the long lead items which included new flotation cells, thickener, and filter press; accordingly, the delivery dates will dictate the completion schedule. The ball mill bearing surfaces are currently being cleaned and prepared for installation once the mill foundations have been poured.

The existing crushing plant will be upgraded to accommodate the higher throughput with a new larger Sandvik tertiary cone crusher, which has been ordered. The Company has obtained the services of a local Durango company to fabricate the structural steel components and conveyors that will be shipped to the site in accordance with the construction schedule.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017

The Initial mill feed for Circuit #4 will come from existing surface stockpiles while the mine is being developed in the gap zone between San Luis and Elena Tolosa (Avino Mine).

The only additional mine equipment that will be required for the above mentioned development will be a new jumbo drill and a scooptram, which are currently on order.

Oxide Tailings Resource – Preliminary Economic Assessment

In April 2017, Avino completed an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) of re-treating the Avino mine tailings which includes the results from the Company’s 2016 Resource Estimate (see news release dated September 26, 2016). The PEA was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, with a compliant Technical Report being completed by Tetra Tech Canada Inc..

Highlights of the Oxide Tailings Preliminary Economic Assessment

· Significant pre-tax NPV^8%of US$40.5 million

· Strong pre-tax IRR of 48.4%

· 2 year pay-back period

· Total capital expenditures of US$28.5 million

· 7 year mine life with LOM of 3.12 million tonnes of oxide tailings material

The Oxide Tailings deposit comprises historic recovery plant residue material deposited during the earlier period of open pit mining of the Avino Vein, when there were poor process plant recoveries for silver and gold. The oxide tailings are partially covered by younger unconsolidated sulphide tailings on the northwest side of the property. For more information see Avino’s news release dated April 11, 2017.

The Company cautions that the PEA is preliminary in nature in that it is based on Inferred Mineral Resources which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be characterized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Alternative Tailings Disposal

Management retained the services of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. and MPL Mine Paste Ltd. to review the mine operating plan and alternatives for tailings disposal. Additionally, an optimization review of our internal operating plan was carried out resulting in discussions on alternatives to conventional tailings storage and a recommendation to use tailings as backfill. Their recommendation is contingent on a revised internal operating plan, which is underway and is based on using the thickened tails as backfill for ground support underground for the mined out stopes, and tailings disposal into the existing open pit as preferred alternatives to the conventional tailings storage facility (TSF). A revised internal operating plan will be submitted for our consideration; however, in the meantime management felt it prudent to temporarily halt construction of the new TSF to further understand this possible new route, and, if the plan is agreed to by the Company, a follow up site visit will be planned to implement it.

The advantages of this alternative method of tailings disposal include limited ground disturbance, a reduced footprint on surface from future mining, increased tailings storage capacity, minimal permitting, minimization of social and community issues, and lower estimated capital expenditures.

Exploration

In late September 2016, the Company commenced a diamond drill program to explore the area of the Avino Vein System between the San Luis workings and the Elena Tolosa (“ET”) current production area. This new area is close to surface and accessible from the existing Avino Mine underground workings. The area was identified as a target of interest given that on surface and at shallow depths, the Avino Vein system splits into hanging wall and foot wall structures.

The 18-hole drill program was completed with Hole ET-17-11 in mid-March, and in order to fully evaluate the tonnage and the grade of the new zone, Avino decided to extend the program with an expected additional 20 drill holes; the drill is currently completing Hole ET-17-17 (the sixth hole of the extended 20-hole program). Results from the first 18 holes can be viewed in Avino news releases dated December 21, 2016, and April 27, 2017, on Avino’s website and on the SEDAR system.

The Avino Vein (Epithermal) has been followed longitudinally for more than 1,300 metres and vertically for more than 600 metres. It strikes north 66° east with an east-west splay, and dips to the south and southeast at 60° to 70°. Steeply dipping, high grade zones within the vein and stock-work zones are frequently found throughout the vein, as well as at its intersections with a number of lateral veins. The new zone is approximately 240 metres in strike length by 130 metres in depth, and an average of 15 metres in thickness. The Avino vein remains open at depth.

The Company has retained Michael O’Brien, P.Geo., Pr.Sci.Nat., who is an employee of Aranz Geo Expert Services, and independent of Avino, to update the category of the resource in the gap zone with results of this drilling, as well as to verify the size of the new high grade mineralized zone on Level 4 to the west on San Gonzalo and the results to the west of San Luis, and to independently verify the size of the new zones.

The new high-grade zone on Level 4 at San Gonzalo has been extensively sampled, and those samples have been sent to an independent lab for verification.

Furthermore, a new core storage facility has been erected on site and is being stocked.

Bismuth Removal Testwork

The Company has planned a small scale pilot project to test the reduction or removal of bismuth content from the Elena Tolosa (Avino Mine) concentrate. The process consists of a roasting step followed by leaching of the calcines to remove the bismuth. Bismuth content can accrue steep penalties at the smelter, and removal of it can result in significant revenue gains if successful.

Zinc Circuit

Testing of the zinc circuit has been ongoing in an effort to improve the San Gonzalo gold and silver recoveries. To date the results of the testing have been varied due to fluctuating zinc feed grades; therefore, more work will be done to establish a marketable product.

Bralorne Mine

The Bralorne Mine, located approximately 240 km north-east of Vancouver, British Columbia, is in the exploration, evaluation and planning stage.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017

Progress Update

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company continued to review strategic operating plans, and reviewed three different potential scenarios. The original phased plan was for the future start-up of a small tonnage operation, and during the course of work being completed, our onsite consultants have identified ground and safety issues in the existing 800 level tunnel. It was determined that the 800 level needed rehabilitative work, and consultants were engaged to review and develop a plan for the repairs. In view of the proposed repairs, which would have restricted mine throughput, the construction of a new tunnel on the 800 level, which was originally included in a later phase, is now being evaluated. The consultant's recommendations are to construct a new tunnel on the 800 level, due to the age and limiting size of the original main access tunnel, which also has issues with difficult ground conditions. The future construction of a new 800 tunnel should allow earlier access to the resources below the 800 level.

The recommended new 800 level tunnel would be sized for mechanized equipment (4.5 metres x 4.5 metres) for the long term development of the mine to depth. It would be near the mill, and replace the old 800 tunnel (2.5 metres x 2.5 metres) which was only accessible by small track equipment. The old tunnel would be made safe and would still be used for ventilation, secondary egress, and mine water drainage.

The proposed new mine plan also contemplates testing a different mining method, sub level long hole retreat mining on veins where the hanging wall, foot wall, and mineralization are conducive to this method, which should be safer and more productive than the shrinkage and cut & fill mining methods used in the past. Combined with the larger new tunnel, the future mining operation should be more mechanized and efficient than in the past.

Underground Drill Program and Surface Exploration

An underground drill program will be carried out this year to better define the resources above and below the 800 level. Garth Kirkham, P. Geo., the Company's independent geological consultant for Bralorne, is designing a drill program. The Company also plans to carry out a surface exploration program this year, consisting of mapping and trenching and possibly some drilling on its expanded ground position that now incorporates the contiguous BRX claims. The program will be aimed at finding near surface veins that could provide early mill feed.

Environmental & Permitting Progress

The Company is in discussions with the Ministry of Mines and Energy ("MEM") and Ministry of the Environment ("MOE") to receive an amended Mine Permit which would be updated to modern environmental and permitting standards that would allow the Company to operate the mine at 100 tonnes per day. Permitting has taken longer than expected, and is partly a result of the government taking a more rigorous approach to environmental requirements and having many projects at the permitting stage in British Columbia. If amended as expected, we would be in receipt of a modern permit, which should take less time to amend for modest future expansions. The Company's senior management and site personnel continue to work closely with the MEM and MOE, and recently met with the Chief Inspector and Deputy Chief Inspector to discuss environmental and permitting. It was a very productive meeting, and a follow up meeting is planned for the fall.

First Nations and Surrounding Communities

First Nations

The Company has an evolving relationship with the First Nations in the area who have proven to be supportive, collaborative, and instrumental in assisting in interactions with provincial regulators.

In the second quarter of 2017, a number of important factors have contributed to the development of the project, with the most significant being the signing of the LOI with St'át'imc Eco Resources, which recognizes the opportunity for collaboration and the establishment of joint ventures to allow the St'át'imc First Nation communities (the "St'át'imc") to economically participate in the development and ongoing operations of the Bralorne Gold Mine project. St'át'imc Eco-Resources Ltd. is owned by nine of the eleven St'át'imc communities.

Hiring and Training

During the past month, the Company hired a Metallurgist, Lead Electrician, Apprentice Electrician, Senior Mining Engineer, Senior Mine Geologist, and Junior Geologist; all of whom are important and strategic hires to support existing staff and strengthen the team. Additionally, the Company, together with North Island College, St'át'imc Government Services and the BC and Federal Governments, participated in two educational cohorts to provide basic mining training to 24 members of the St'át'imc First Nation in Lillooet, two graduates have been hired thus far and we expect to hire more. Avino is planning to hold a third cohort starting in November, this time to accommodate St’at’imc communities in and around the Pemberton Valley.

In addition, Avino is working with Thompson Rivers University, the Center for Training Excellence in Mining and a number of other mining companies within the province to develop an accredited underground mining training program aligned with the Mining Industry Human Resources Council’s Canadian Mining Certification Program. This program is being designed to leverage off the North Island College certificate program, and will consist of 3 modules intended to:

· Provide the graduates from our past training programs as well as other qualified community members with extensive hands on training and job shadowing, making them ready to work underground

· Engage industry and training providers in other parts of B.C. to ensure transferability of the core curriculum and ease of building a site specific module.

· Ensure that funding leverages off of previously-funded projects and sets the stage for better usability.

Community Engagement

Recognizing the need for improved infrastructure and more amenities to make the Bralorne area an attractive location for future employees, Avino has begun working with the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, St'át'imc Eco-Resources, Bralorne Community Advisory Committee, Bridge River Economic Development Committee, and Thompson Rivers University to develop a plan to rejuvenate the surrounding communities, provide housing options for employees and their families, as well as to protect existing facilities crucial to the community's future growth.

Non – IFRS Measures

Cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce, and cash flow per share

Cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce, and cash flow per share are measures developed by mining companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard. However, there can be no assurance that our reporting of these non-IFRS measures is similar to that reported by other mining companies. Total cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce, and cash flow per share are measures used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company’s mining operations, and are widely reported in the silver and gold mining industry as benchmarks for performance, but do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and are disclosed in addition to IFRS measures.

Management of the Company believes that the Company’s ability to control the cash cost per silver equivalent ounce is one of its key performance drivers impacting both the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Achieving a low silver equivalent production cost base allows the Company to remain profitable from mining operations even during times of low commodity prices, and provides more flexibility in responding to changing market conditions. In addition, a profitable operation results in the generation of positive cash flows, which then improves the Company’s financial condition.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017

The Company has adopted the reporting of “all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent ounce”. This measure has no standardized meaning throughout the industry. However, it is intended to provide additional information. Avino presents all-in sustaining cash cost because it believes that it more fully defines the total current cost associated with producing a silver equivalent ounce. Further, the Company believes that this measure allows investors of the Company to better understand its cost of producing silver equivalent ounces, and better assess the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations. Although the measure seeks to reflect the full cost per silver equivalent ounce of production from current operations, it does not include capital expenditures attributable to mine expansions, exploration and evaluation costs attributable to growth projects, income tax payments, marketing and treatment charges, and financing costs. In addition, the calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs does not include depreciation and depletion expense as it does not reflect the impact of expenditures incurred in prior periods. The Company’s calculation of all-in sustaining cash costs includes sustaining capital expenditures of $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, as substantially all of the mining equipment used at San Gonzalo and Avino has been newly purchased or refurbished. The Company has planned for sustaining capital expenditures in future years in accordance with mine operating plans and expected equipment utilization levels. Although this measure is not representative of all of the Company’s cash expenditures, management believes that it is a useful measure in allowing it to analyze the efficiency of its mining operations.

The Company also presents cash flow per share, as it believes it assists investors and other stakeholders in evaluating the Company's overall performance and its ability to generate cash flow from current operations.

To facilitate a better understanding of these measures as calculated by the Company, detailed reconciliations between the non-IFRS measures and the Company’s consolidated financial statements are provided below. The measures presented are intended to provide additional information, and should not be considered in isolation nor should they be considered substitutes for IFRS measures. Calculated figures may not add up due to rounding.

Cash Cost and All-in Sustaining Cash Cost per Silver Equivalent Ounce

The following tables provide a reconciliation of cost of sales from the consolidated financial statements to cash cost and all-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold. In each table, “silver equivalent ounces sold” consists of the sum of silver ounces, gold ounces and copper tonnes sold multiplied by the ratio of the average spot gold and copper prices for the corresponding period.

1. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017, were $7,911,388 compared to $9,017,929 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease of $1,106,541 reflects a decrease in silver-equivalent ounces sold by 14%.

2. Cost of Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017, were $5,429,609 compared to $6,558,452 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease of $1,128,843 reflects a decrease in silver-equivalent ounces sold, as well as improved overall gross margins. As a result, Mine Operating Income did not change significantly for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to June 30, 2016.

3. Share-based payments for the three months ended June 30, 2017, totalled $236,186 compared to $Nil for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

4. The fair value adjustment on the Company’s warrant liability relates to the issuance of US dollar denominated warrants which are re-valued each reporting period, and the value fluctuates with changes in the US-Canadian dollar exchange rate and in the variables used in the valuation model, such as share price and expected share price volatility.

5. Foreign exchange gains or losses result from transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar functional currency. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the US dollar depreciated in relation to the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso, resulting in a foreign exchange loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the US dollar appreciated compared to the Mexican peso, which was partly offset by depreciation of the US dollar compared to the Canadian dollar, resulting in a foreign exchange gain.

6. Current income tax expense was $953,008 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $688,799 in the three months ended June 30, 2016. Deferred income tax recovery was $589,624 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to an expense of $811,666 in the comparative quarter. Deferred income tax fluctuates due to movements in taxable and deductible temporary differences related to the special mining duty in Mexico and to changes in inventory, plant, equipment and mining properties, and exploration and evaluation assets, amongst other factors. The changes in current income taxes and deferred income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily relate to movements in the tax bases and increased mining profits at the Avino Mine property.

7. As a result of the foregoing, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was $1,151,549, an increase of $1,488,297 compared to net loss of $336,748 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase resulted in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01 in the comparative quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash, in both the short term and the long term, to maintain existing capacity and to fund ongoing exploration, is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves or resources and the ability of the Company to obtain the financing necessary to generate and sustain profitable operations.

On July 31, 2017, the Company and Samsung C&T U.K. Limited (”Samsung”) agreed to amend the Company’s existing term facility by further extending the repayment period. Repayments of the remaining balance will be made in 13 equal monthly instalments commencing in July 2018 and ending July 2019. The Company will sell the Avino Mine concentrates on an exclusive basis to Samsung until December 31, 2021.

Management expects that the Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements will be funded from cash generated from current operations and from further financing as required in order to fund ongoing exploration activities and meet its objectives, including ongoing advancement at the Avino Mine. The Company continues to evaluate financing opportunities to advance its projects. The Company’s ability to secure adequate financing is in part dependent on overall market conditions, the prices of silver, gold, and copper, and other factors outside the Company’s control, and there is no guarantee the Company will be able to secure any or all necessary financing in the future. The Company’s recent financing activities are summarized in the table below.

(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).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2017:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Financial assets
Cash	$	5,914,408	$	-	$	-

Changes in Accounting Standards

The Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in US dollars. The Company changed its presentation currency to US dollars from Canadian dollars effective January 1, 2017. The functional currency of the Company and its Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar, while the functional currency of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries is the US dollar. The Company believes that the change in presentation currency will provide shareholders with a better reflection of the Company’s business activities and enhance the comparability of the Company’s financial information to peers. The change in presentation currency represents a voluntary change in accounting policy which is accounted for retrospectively. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for all periods presented have been translated into the new presentation currency in accordance with IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Changes in accounting standards not yet effective:

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

The classification of financial assets and liabilities is expected to remain consistent under IFRS 9 with the possible exception of equity securities. Under IFRS 9, the Company will have the option to designate equity securities as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. If the Company does not make this election, changes in the fair value of equity securities will continue to be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with the Company’s current policy.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for the design and effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management and disclosed in accordance with applicable securities regulations. There have been no changes that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”)

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Internal controls over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Internal controls over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our management and the Board of Directors do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable (not absolute) assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design, maintenance and testing of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control gaps and instances of fraud have been detected. These inherent limitations include the reality that judgment in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design, maintenance and testing of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any control system may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017

Based on their knowledge of the Company’s ICFR, management identified a material weakness in controls related to organizational governance for the six months ended June 30, 2017, based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) (‘COSO’). Management identified certain principles in the COSO framework that require further development before they reach an appropriate level of maturity, as described below:

· A formal risk management process that involves all appropriate levels of management is not yet in place including a documented plan to respond to the identified risks.

· Certain policies have not been translated into Spanish for Company employees operating in Mexico, including an appropriate whistleblower program accessible to Spanish-speaking staff with a clear direction on how to report suspected incidents to an independent committee.

Management believes the material weakness identified is temporary, and has completed certain steps of the remediation plan that involves refining risk management oversight as well as ensuring all critical policies have been appropriately translated and disseminated to staff working in Mexico. Management expects to complete all of the required remediation steps within the remainder of 2017.

Other than as described above, there have been no changes that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Cautionary Statement

This MD&A is based on a review of the Company’s operations, financial position and plans for the future based on facts and circumstances as of August 2, 2017. Except for historical information or statements of fact relating to the Company, this document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities regulations.

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and future events and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in the Company’s documents filed from time to time via SEDAR with the Canadian regulatory agencies to whose policies we are bound. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements should conditions or our estimates or opinions change, except as required by applicable securities regulations. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
