Avino Silver & Gold mines is a Canadian-based resource firm focused on silver mining and exploration. The company has a long history of operation, beginning with its founding in 1968 to develop The Avino Mine in Durango State, Mexico. From 1974 to 2001, The Avino Mine produced silver, gold, copper and lead and provided hundreds of jobs for the Durango region before closing due to low metal prices. Beginning in 2002, Avino re-directed its corporate strategy to focus almost entirely on silver and began acquiring silver properties in North America. The company's most recent acquisitions---the Eagle property in Canada's Yukon Territory and the Aumax property in British Columbia---have produced high silver values in drilling and sampling. The Avino Mine and surrounding mineral leases continue to hold excellent silver potential. These properties, along with other silver projects, will remain the company's focus for the foreseeable future.
