The vein samples were assayed at SGS Labs Durango.

During 2007, Avino drilled 40 holes totaling 9,204.24 metres on the San Gonzalo vein, around and below the original workings. In 2008 Avino drilled a further 6 holes totaling 1,782.40 metres.

In August 2009, Ore Quest Consultants Ltd. in a NI 43-101 compliant report calculated an Inferred Resource. Quote from Ore Quest Consultants Report:

"Based on drilling results an Inferred Resource of 444,250 tonnes has been estimated with an average grade of 2.61 g/tonne gold and 332 g/tonne silver. The deposit also contains 1% lead and 1.5% zinc which have not been used in cutoff grades or equivalent ounces. This resource is estimated to contain 37,300 ounces of gold and 4.75 million ounces of silver (metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns assumed to be 100%).

There is also a small tonnage (43,000 tonnes) surrounding the existing mine workings which based on historic sample results is estimated to grade 596 g/t silver. No gold assays are available on this material and the results cannot be verified nor can the actual outlines of the workings. Recent drilling has however validated the grades to a certain extent and has demonstrated where there are no workings. This estimate remains historic as it does not follow the requirements for reserves and resources outlined in NI 43-101 as the resource estimate was estimated prior to the enactment of NI 43-101."

As announced in 4 March 2010 News Release, Avino will do further drifting on the San Gonzalo vein and develop a series of production shrinkage stopes in order to supply feed to our recently refurbished 250 ton per day flotation circuit at the Avino Mill, which is currently processing stock piled material from the ET Zone on the main Avino vein.
