Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM) completed its 2025 drilling program at the La Preciosa mine, reporting assay results for six drill holes drilled in the upper oxidation zone. The results include high‑grade silver and gold intercepts in the La Gloria and Abundancia veins, with grades that exceed expectations for the project’s oxidized zone.
The high‑grade intercepts have prompted ASM’s management to reconsider the underground mining method for La Preciosa. President and CEO David Wolfin noted that the significant widths encountered at La Gloria could allow for larger tonnage per blast, potentially reducing mining costs and improving the project’s economics.
La Preciosa is already contributing material to ASM’s Avino mill, and the company’s 2025 production of 2.6 million silver‑equivalent ounces met its full‑year guidance. The drilling results will refine the resource model and support the planned ramp‑up of production at the site.
The six drill holes, completed before October 31 2025, will be incorporated into ASM’s upcoming mineral resource and reserve estimate expected in Q1 2026. The updated resource model will inform guidance for 2026 and beyond.
La Preciosa remains a developing asset that is part of ASM’s strategy to become a multi‑mine producer by 2029. The company aims to expand from one to three producing assets within five years, positioning La Preciosa as a key contributor to that growth.
