 Avino Silver and Gold Mines Ltd. is pleased to announce results of the 2006 drilling program at its Minto Property in Bridge River Gold Mining area approximately 100 km north of Vancouver B.C.

The four diamond core holes were drilled to explore down dip extensions of gold bearing structures originally discovered in trench 827 on the Minto North Zone.

For details please consult our website and refer to the June 22, 2005 News Release.:

Holes MO-06-01 and 02 were drilled from a site approximately 10 m west of trench 827. Hole MO-06-03 was drilled from a site approximately 2 m north and 7 m east of MO-06-01, 02. Hole MO-06-04 was drilled from the same set-up.

The gold bearing structures consist of sets of parallel narrow (1-2 mm) fractures containing quartz, carbonate, grey sulphide veinlets.

Details of the drill holes and assay results for the fractures sampled are as follows:

Hole: MO-06-01 5639195N 517518E Bearing 120 Dip 45 Length 151.49 m
