Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. was incorporated by Memorandum of Association under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on May 15, 1969, and on August 22, 1969, by virtue of an amalgamation with Ace Mining Company Ltd., became a public company whose common shares are registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, changing its name to Avino Mines & Resources Limited. On April 12, 1995, the Company changed its corporate name to International Avino Mines Ltd. On August 29, 1997, the Company changed its corporate name to Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd., its current name, to better reflect the business of the Company of exploring for and mining silver and gold. The Company is a resource firm focused on silver and gold exploration. The Company's main business activities include the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company owns interests in mineral properties located in Durango, Mexico and in British Columbia and the Yukon, Canada. The Company is in the exploration stage and is in the process of determining whether these properties contain ore reserves which are economically recoverable. The mining industry in which the Company is engaged is highly competitive. Competitors include well-capitalized mining companies, independent mining companies and other companies having financial and other resources far greater than those of the Company. The current and anticipated future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, territorial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and would be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.
