2026 outlook
- Noteplanned 15,000 metres of exploration for 2026
Capital returns
- The TSX accepted the Company’s notice of intention to repurchase for cancellation up to an aggregate of 8,423,566 common shares, or approximately 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.
What drove it

- Mill Circuit 2 becoming available supported above-plan extraction, haulage and processing of La Preciosa mineralized development material.
- La Preciosa development production increased 59% from Q1 2026 and contributed 100,658 AgEq ounces.
- The Company intentionally processed lower-grade development ore during elevated metal prices that otherwise would have been stockpiled.
Concerns
- Silver equivalent ounces were 534,945, down 17 % from Q2 2025.

What to watch
- Progress toward the planned 15,000 metres of exploration for 2026. The Company reported 6,591 meters completed at the end of Q2, with two drills turning at La Preciosa.
- Results from exploration and step-out holes at high-priority vein intersections and projections at La Preciosa, which are largely outside the current resource model.
- Development and processing progress at La Preciosa, including the contribution from Mill Circuit 2 and the processing of lower-grade development ore.
- The planned normal course issuer bid permitting repurchases of up to an aggregate of 8,423,566 common shares.
- Unit costs and metal production following Q2 increases in cash costs and all-in sustaining costs and declines in silver-equivalent output and copper production.
Balance sheet and cash flow
- Cash was $ 144,183 (in 000’s) at June 30, 2026, compared with $ 138,646 (in 000’s) at March 31, 2026 and $ 101,724 (in 000’s) at December 31, 2025.

Analysis
Avino reported higher Q2 financial results despite lower production and sales volumes. Revenues were $ 26,787 (in 000’s), up 23 %, while mine operating income rose 27 % to $ 12,971 (in 000’s). Net income increased 281 % to $ 10,899 (in 000’s), and diluted earnings per share were $ 0.06 compared with $ 0.02. EBITDA was $ 12,559 (in 000’s), up 69 %, and adjusted earnings were $ 11,125 (in 000’s), up 26 %.
The realized silver price was the key reported revenue driver. The average realized silver price per ounce sold was $ 68.90, a 104 % increase from $ 33.85, and 54% of Q2 revenues came from silver production. At the same time, operating volumes declined: silver equivalent ounces were down 17 %, payable silver equivalent ounces sold were down 43 %, and copper pounds produced were down 50 %. Gold ounces produced increased 23 %, while operating tonnes milled declined 4 % and silver ounces produced declined 6 %.
Costs moved higher year over year. Cash cost per silver equivalent payable ounce increased 89 % to $ 28.62 and all-in sustaining cost per silver equivalent payable ounce increased 85 % to $ 38.75. Per-tonne cash cost increased 42 % to $ 74.72 and all-in sustaining cost per tonne increased 30 % to $ 96.01. Management attributed the La Preciosa throughput increase to Mill Circuit 2 becoming available, while noting that intentional processing of lower-grade development ore during elevated metal prices offset that throughput benefit.
Cash generation and liquidity strengthened. Cash provided by operating activities increased 59 % to $ 13,260 (in 000’s), and operating cash flow before working capital adjustments increased 32 % to $ 8,254 (in 000’s). Cash was $ 144,183 (in 000’s) at June 30, 2026, compared with $ 138,646 (in 000’s) at March 31, 2026. The Company also received TSX acceptance for a normal course issuer bid of up to an aggregate of 8,423,566 common shares, and first-half capital expenditures totaled $6.5 million, primarily for La Preciosa mine development and equipment.
La Preciosa remains the central operating focus. Development production increased 59% from Q1 2026, contributing 100,658 AgEq ounces, and the Company reported 6,591 meters of drilling completed toward its planned 15,000 metres of exploration for 2026. No revenue, margin, operating-expense or tax-rate outlook was provided in the release, so the disclosed forward metric is the exploration plan rather than financial guidance.
Management, verbatim
During the second quarter, the Company continued its main focus of advancing La Preciosa while free cash flow from Avino further adds to the balance sheet quarter after quarter.
David Wolfin, President and CEO
With La Preciosa development material doubling in mine and mill throughput during the quarter, our transformational growth plan toward becoming a Mexico-focused mid-tier primary silver producer remains on track, and we continue working on delivering long-term value for our shareholders.
