Avino Silver & Gold Mines (NYSE:ASM) is a precious metals mining and exploration company engaged in the production and development of silver, gold and copper properties. The company’s flagship asset is the Avino Mine, located near Durango in northern Mexico, where it operates an underground mining and milling complex. In addition to its primary operations, Avino maintains a portfolio of exploration and development projects aimed at extending mine life and exploring new resource opportunities.
The Avino Mine has a long history dating back to the 18th century, with modern production commencing in the 1960s. Avino Silver & Gold Mines has invested in upgrading its processing facilities, including a 2,000-ton-per-day milling circuit and a tailings reprocessing plant. These facilities enable the company to recover silver, gold and copper from both primary ore and historic tailings, maximizing resource utilization and improving environmental stewardship.
Beyond Mexico, Avino holds interests in promising exploration projects in Canada, notably the Bralorne Mine in British Columbia and the Silver Crest project in Quebec. The Bralorne project involves a historic high-grade gold mine with potential for near-term production, while Silver Crest offers significant silver-lead-zinc prospects. These projects diversify Avino’s asset base and position the company to capitalize on future discoveries in prolific mining jurisdictions.
Leadership at Avino Silver & Gold Mines brings extensive industry experience, with David Wolfin serving as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The executive team and board of directors comprise professionals with backgrounds in geology, engineering and finance, guiding corporate strategy and operational excellence. Avino remains focused on responsible mining practices, community engagement and sustainable growth as it develops its portfolio of silver, gold and copper assets.
