Avino Reports 127 Million Ounce Silver Equivalent Reserves Across Three Assets
Avino defined inaugural Proven and Probable reserves of 27 million tonnes grading 109 g/t silver, 0.41 g/t gold and 0.31% copper, totaling 127 million silver equivalent ounces across La Preciosa, Avino Mine and Oxide Tailings. Measured and indicated resources rose 9% to 67.7 million tonnes for 301 million silver equivalent ounces after 4,560 meters of drilling.
1. Inaugural Mineral Reserve Estimate
Avino’s inaugural Proven and Probable reserves span 27 million tonnes across La Preciosa, Avino Mine and Oxide Tailings, grading 109 g/t silver, 0.41 g/t gold and 0.31% copper. These reserves equate to 127 million silver equivalent ounces at a 145 g/t equivalent grade.
2. Resource Base Expansion and Conversion
Measured and indicated mineral resources total 67.7 million tonnes grading 93 g/t silver, 0.32 g/t gold and 0.16% copper, equating to 301 million silver equivalent ounces at 162 g/t, a 9% increase after depletion. Nearly 42% of the resource base was converted to reserves, underscoring decades of potential mine life at current mill throughput.
3. 2026 Exploration Drilling Program
Avino drilled 4,560 meters between the two resource estimates with minimal infill drilling. The company has committed to 30,000 meters of drilling in 2026 across La Preciosa and Avino to expand both resource and reserve inventories.
