Avino: Silver Production in Mexico, Gold Exploration in B.C.

Source: James Kwantes for Streetwise Reports   11/08/2018

James Kwantes profiles a long-time, stable silver producer with growing deposits in Mexico and a “call option” on high-grade gold in Canada.

Long before Hollywood directors made it a favored setting for westerns. . .before Pancho Villa rose from the poverty of a hacienda there to become an important Revolutionary general. . .the Mexican state of Durango was a major center for global silver production.

Understanding silver’s role in Mexico—formerly part of “New Spain”—requires stepping back about 500 years. The precious metal has been mined in Durango since the time of the Spanish conquest, more or less continuously. Silver enriched the Spanish king and bolstered the treasury, helping fund wars against European rivals. It also funded a magnificent cathedral that still stands in the state capital, also named Durango. And coins minted from Mexican silver soon became a global currency.

One of the sources of that mineral wealth was Avino, the “mountain of silver” on the eastern flank of the Sierra Madre mountains outside of the city of Durango. It’s an ore body now being mined by Vancouver-based Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM:TSX.V; ASM:NYSE.MKT). Avino produces silver, as well as gold and copper, from two underground mines: the main Avino deposit and San Gonzalo, a small higher-grade deposit about two kilometers away.

The metal remains a major export for Mexico, and Avino’s silver still makes its way around the world. But these days, it’s purchased by a division of Samsung. Samsung C&T purchases all of Avino’s production at spot prices and ships it to smelters in Asia.

Avino founder Lou Wolfin

Avino was founded by current CEO David Wolfin’s father Lou Wolfin (above), who in 1968 bought a 49% stake in the mothballed Mexican mine—which had closed in 1912 due to the Mexican Revolution. The joint venture put the mine back into production, and Avino later purchased the remaining stake from the Mexican family that owned it. Avino’s 50-year history is one of the features that sets the company apart in a junior mining sector where longevity is typically measured in years, not decades.

CEO David Wolfin’s roots at Avino run deep, too—as a teenager, he worked in the underground mine. Lou Wolfin, who died on March 3, 2017, at age 85, was an entrepreneur and inventor who showed a willingness to invest where others feared to tread. And although the company founder’s path to silver mining in Durango started on Howe Street, it began with a detour through Beverly Hills.

That’s where the elder Wolfin met Mexican entrepreneur Fernando Ysita at a party in the late 1960s. The chance Hollywood encounter led to forays into Mexico and, eventually, a major investment. Avino purchased a 49-per-cent stake (the maximum allowed) in 1968 when Mexico re-opened to foreign investment. The company later bought the rest of the mine from the Ysita family.

Lou Wolfin was a contemporary of Murray Pezim and a bit of a legend in Vancouver business circles. A former stockbroker, Wolfin bought a seat on the Vancouver Stock Exchange in 1960 and later opened a Vancouver brokerage house. His entrepreneurial instincts extended far beyond mining—he owned the patent on holograms and developed a keyless door-lock entry system decades before those became common.

But it’s in mining that the elder Wolfin’s legacy is felt most acutely. He wasn’t there to see it, but Avino celebrated its 50-year milestone at the Vancouver Resource and Investment Conference in January. Among those at the party were employees who had been there from the beginning, as well as a contingent from Samsung headquarters in Seoul, South Korea.

The Avino mine on the “mountain of silver.”

I toured the Avino mines—which also produce gold and copper concentrates—on a site visit to Durango late last year. After flying into the state capital of Durango via Mexico City, we shuttled to the Hotel Gobernador, a hacienda that was formerly a state prison (complete with bullet holes on one of the outer walls). Our group, mostly German investors and analysts, was hosted by Avino CEO David Wolfin, COO Carlos Rodrigues and investor relations manager Jennifer North.

The mine is about an hour-and-a-half drive through towns and a countryside that looks familiar thanks to westerns such as “How The West Was Won” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” The city of Durango has its own walk of fame featuring Hollywood stars on the sidewalk and several bronze statues including John Wayne—The Duke totes a rifle missing its barrel. (John Candy died of a heart attack in the city in 1994 during a break from filming “Wagons East.”)

At the mine, silver, gold and copper concentrates are processed using a flotation circuit from ore mined at Avino and San Gonzalo. For the last three years, production has held steady at or above the 2.7 million ounces silver-equivalent produced in 2017 (2.68 million AgEq oz in 2016, 3 million AgEq oz in 2015).

But a project under construction when I visited and now largely complete should hike that total significantly: the fourth mill circuit. That circuit—with a ball mill purchased from a Quebec mine—is now complete and set to process ore in the first quarter of 2019. The circuit is projected to boost capacity by about 70%, to 2,500 tonnes per day. Once the fourth circuit is commissioned, it will process ore from the San Luis (expansion) area of the Avino mine.

The fourth circuit at Avino’s mill, under construction when I visited, is now complete.

Avino announced Q3 2018 production on Oct. 15 and the company’s silver-equivalent production dropped by 7% year-over-year, to 704,429 ounces AgEq. Avino produced 342,151 ounces of silver (down 7% YOY), 2,204 ounces of gold (down 18% YOY) and 992,271 pounds of copper (down 10% YOY). The lower production and declining grades are partly because San Gonzalo is reaching the end of its mine life as Avino transitions to San Luis ore.

About 90% of Avino’s workers live in villages a short drive away from the mine. The local workers have been a constant for the last five centuries—the jobs pay well and are highly coveted. It’s quite a contrast to the fly-in, fly-out contract mining methods at many modern mines. That helps on the community relations front, in addition to Avino’s decades-long presence there.

The Sinaloa cartel operates in Durango but our group travelled without guards or security, and neither is there a visible security presence at the mine. There are signs of a cartel presence if you pay attention, however, in and around Durango. The police station outside the city is built high on a hill and resembles a fortress. A prison we passed also looked seriously secure.

At the mine site, our group of analysts, investors and newsletter writers donned waterproof protective and safety gear and descended into both mines, the temperature rising with each lower level. It was vaguely reminiscent of the silver price, which has fallen more or less consistently and is now stuck under US$15 after running to almost $50 an ounce in April 2011.

That’s made it tough for silver producers to make money, and Avino is no exception. The company is also in expansion mode; there are exploration drilling projects at both the Avino mine and at the company’s Bralorne project in British Columbia. Avino is also investigating the economics of processing oxide tailings at Avino. It all costs money, and Avino recently raised US$4.6 million through the sale of 65-cent (US) units.

Each unit consisted of one 65-cent share and a full five-year warrant exercisable at 80 cents. But the financing was announced with the stock at 79 cents US, and the below-market pricing prompted a selloff in the stock. In conjunction with Q3 production numbers, released October 15, Avino announced cost-reduction initiatives (capital, operating and administrative) at its operations in Mexico and British Columbia.

There are other examples in Avino’s neighbourhood of how silver’s struggles have hit other producers. Nearby is Coeur Mining’s mothballed Preciosa silver deposit, purchased for $382 million from Orko Silver in 2013. That deal was done with silver at about US$30 an ounce.

Growing production from the fourth circuit gives Avino good leverage to rising silver prices. When and if that occurs is anybody’s guess, but the silver price has a track record of bouncing hard when it reverses. One measure suggestive of a silver bull market is the gold-silver ratio, which is above 80 and near a historical record. Silver has made outsized returns each time it has reached these levels.

Avino also has leverage to gold at Bralorne, its under-the-radar Canadian project. Bralorne is nestled amid rugged mountains in British Columbia’s South Chilcotin range. It was the epicenter of a major gold mining camp that produced 4.2 million ounces of gold between 1928 and 1971. The three adjacent mines—Bralorne, Pioneer and King—produced extremely high-grade ore. Average head grades were above 0.5 ounces per tonne, or 14 g/t gold—multiples of global mined grades that are now below 1 g/t Au.

Avino’s Bralorne project site: July 2018.

Bralorne, where Avino is in the middle of a fully funded 28,000-meter drill program, has the potential to become the flagship and a company maker, if things work out. The project already hosts a state-of-the-art water treatment system and dozens of kilometers of underground workings as well as brand-new mining equipment. The latter equipment—including two scoop trams and a jumbo drill—was purchased as part of a prior plan to start small and ramp up production. The company now plans to focus on expanding the historical resource before starting up a larger mine.

As with Avino, Lou Wolfin played a key role in securing the property, including the historical mine workings. Wolfin bought the Bralorne-Pioneer Mines from Homestake and brought it into Avino in 1990. He got Bralorne running at 100 tonnes per day (in a separate company) but the mine shut down due to low silver prices. Bralorne was brought back into Avino in 2014.

Avino funded the drill program through a $6-million flow-through financing priced at $2.00 (Cdn) per share. The drill program is the most extensive in the project’s history, and includes both exploration and resource drilling. The company is using two drill rigs; assay results should start landing in the first quarter of 2019.

The existing Bralorne resource, announced on Oct. 21, 2016, is 91,528 ounces Measured and Indicated at average grades of 0.33 oz/t gold (9.36 g/t) and 83,900 ounces Inferred at 0.22 oz/t gold (6.2 g/t).

Independent geoscientist Garth Kirkham of Kirkham Geosystems completed the NI 43-101 resource model and also played a major role in designing the current drill program. Kirkham is an award-winning geoscientist known for his resource estimation and 3D modelling work. He has worked extensively with John Robins’ Discovery Group companies, including Kaminak Gold (acquired by Goldcorp) and Bluestone Resources (BSR-V). The drilling follows structural modelling and geological mapping as well as airborne and ground geophysics.

Avino’s investment proposition is that of a stable silver producer with growing, lower-grade deposits and a call option on high-grade gold at Bralorne, where drill assays could provide catalysts for the share price.

Avino: Silver Production in Mexico, Gold Exploration in B.C.

Drilling in the Northeast Block Confirms New Targeting Model and Highlights Potential for Another Large Bralorne-Style Narrow Vein Gold System

This post was originally published on this site

VANCOUVER, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ – Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM: TSX/NYSE American; GV6: FSE; “Avino” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce further results from the drilling campaign at the Bralorne Gold Mine located near Gold Bridge, British Columbia.  As planned, at the start of 2019, the exploration program shifted focus from exploring known veins to making new discoveries in underexplored areas that share similar geological structural attributes to the Bralorne, Pioneer and King Mines. New conceptual insights have opened up the validity of a large block of land north-east of the Ferguson fault, referred to as the North East (“NE”) Block. This area is now considered by Avino to have high potential to host another large Bralorne-style narrow vein gold system.

The comprehensive structural review undertaken by Avino at Bralorne has delivered valuable geological insights and resulted in a new conceptual targeting model which highlights the potential for the discovery of another large Bralorne-style narrow vein gold system. Initial drilling results from the NE Block obtained in Q1 2019 have confirmed the presence of a significant network of gold-bearing quartz veins and validated Avino’s new conceptual targeting model. Drilling has only just begun to test the mineralization potential of the NE Block and approximately 13,500 metres of drilling remain within the current exploration program which will continue until Q4 2019.

Drilling began in the NE Block on January 11, 2019 and 16 holes have now been completed. Multiple gold-bearing veins have been intersected along 1,200 metres of prospective strike length within what Avino considers to be part of a larger vein system. Assay results from 11 holes into the NE Block have now been received, along with the remaining results from Q4 2018 drilling which includes 2 holes into the 27 Vein extension target, 4 holes from the Ned’s vein target, and 3 holes in the King mine area. Drilling will continue to delineate the significant vein system in the NE Block over the coming months targeting potentially high grade gold veins.

The Company is using the gross proceeds of CDN $6,000,000 raised from the Flow-through share offering which closed on April 27, 2018 to fund the exploration work. The news release dated April 27, 2018 describing the offering may be viewed on the Avino website or under the Company’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and was also filed with the SEC on Form 6-K.

Flow-through funds for this campaign are available to be used by December 31, 2019. An estimated CDN $4.4 million will be spent on approximately 24,000 to 28,000 metres of diamond drilling and is planned in two phases, as described below:

Phase One Drilling, Q4 2018 through Q1 2019 – Targeting underexplored portions of known veins

Phase Two Drilling, Q1 to Q4 2019 – Targeting new discoveries in unexplored portions of the property

“We are very encouraged by initial assay results from drilling of the NE Block target area and are excited about the implications of our new conceptual model which has opened up a large area of highly prospective tenure. We look forward to receiving additional assays and sharing continued progress from the drill program,” said David Wolfin, Avino’s President and CEO.

Drilling Campaign – NE Block Target Initial Results

Building on the detailed structural review launched in mid-2018, Avino has developed a new conceptual model for the formation of the Bralorne-Pioneer vein system. This new model has significantly expanded the footprint of the prospective structural corridor which is shown in the blue area on Figure 1, Click on this link to view as the result of an underlapping step over of the major crustal-scale Cadwallader fault.  This prospective structural corridor is considered to have focused faulting and veining and was responsible for the creation of the Bralorne-Pioneer vein system which has reported historical production of 4.15 M oz Au.

Historical exploration and production on the property was largely limited within the Bralorne Mine Block which lies between the Cadwallader and Ferguson faults. The historically defined Bralorne Mine Block occurs in the southern half of the larger prospective structural corridor. The NE Block which occurs on the north-east side of the Ferguson fault had remained highly underexplored despite being comprised of similar favorable host rocks to the Bralorne Mine Block and being situated within what Avino now considers to be the larger prospective structural corridor (see Figure 1 above).

Within the current exploration campaign newly acquired geological and geophysical datasets, including airborne magnetics, an updated geological bedrock map, LiDAR topography and detailed structural analysis have now been completed.  Personnel have been dedicated to compile and digitize the vast historic mining datasets from the Bralorne, Pioneer and King mines which includes exploration drilling (>2,420 holes for >240,700 metres), underground drift assay data (>45,000 composite assays), detailed geological drift plans, structural data (>5,000 measurements) and surface geochemical sampling (>11,000 samples). All geological and geophysical datasets have been integrated into a 3D geological model and utilized to develop and refine a well-supported targeting strategy.

New insights from this work have led Avino to consider that the NE Block, which covers an area approximately 3 kilometres long by 400 – 500 metres wide, has excellent exploration potential to host another large Bralorne-style narrow vein gold system. Most of the NE Block is covered by a thin layer (5 – 15 metres) of glacial till with limited bedrock exposure and as such has remained highly underexplored.

Only minor historic underground exploration has been completed within the NE block. This consists of limited exploration drifts from the King Mine 8 and 20 levels with minor exploration drilling. The Peter Mine is located at the far western end of the NE Block and this was developed between 2003 and 2005 with a small amount of underground test mining.

Historic exploration drilling in the NE Block has been extremely limited considering the large size of the prospective area. Exploration drilling within the NE Block totaled approximately 108 holes for 14,200 metres of which the majority was completed in the Peter Mine area. Beyond the immediate Peter Mine area only 41 holes for 6,415 metres have been completed in the greater NE Block. When contrasting this with the extensive exploration drilling (a minimum of 2,200 holes for 213,000 metres), drifting (approximately 80 kilometres) and production completed within the Bralorne Mine Block, the NE Block is considered by Avino to be grossly underexplored.

Phase Two drilling commenced in January 2019 targeting new discoveries in unexplored portions of the property and began in the NE Block.

Assay results from the first 11 holes in the NE Block target area have now been received and significant gold-bearing quartz veins have been intersected in 8 of the first 11 holes, see Figure 2 Click on this link to view. Drilling intersections that cover an initial strike length of 1,200 metres have begun to define what Avino considers to be part of a larger Bralorne-style narrow vein gold system. Results support the validity of the company’s new conceptual model and demonstrate the potential of the newly defined NE Block.

Results from the first 11 holes in the NE Block target area are reported below.

Drilling Campaign – 27 Vein Extension, Ned’s Vein and King Mine Area Q4 2018 Results

Phase One drilling in Q3-Q4 2018 focused on testing underexplored portions of known veins and continued until January 10, 2019. Drilling began with the 27 Vein Extension target and six deep holes were committed from this first phase to test the up-dip extension of this vein. Five of the six holes successfully intersected the 27 Vein at predicted depths, with one hole (SB-2018-2015) being abandoned before reaching target depth due to adverse ground conditions.

Historic drifting and drill testing of the 27 vein up-dip from the productive historic stoping was extremely limited, therefore it was considered a prime target for the initial drilling of Phase One. 

In addition to results from the first four holes on the 27 Vein Extension target, see Figure 3 Click on this link to view two additional holes are reported in Table 2 below. You may wish to refer to the December 17, 2018 press release available on our website at www.avino.com. Holes SB-2018-018 and SB-2018-019 both intersected the 27 Vein between 125 to 200 metres up dip from the intersections reported in holes SB-2018-014 and SB-2018-017 confirming continuity of the structure.

Following completion of the first phase of holes into the 27 Vein Extension target the drill was moved north to test the Ned’s Vein target located 650 metres southeast of the Peter Mine (Located on Figure 3). The Ned’s Vein discovery trench was excavated in 2005 and reportedly returned 1.63 oz/t gold over a 3 foot width (56 gold g/t over 0.91 metres) from veining hosted in graphitic argillites of the Ferguson Formation. No drill testing of this vein had ever been completed.

Avino drilled four holes at the Ned’s Vein target and intersected broad zones of dispersed stockwork-like veining with low grade gold mineralization in sediment. These holes were designed to test the potential for less competent sedimentary rocks to host significant gold-bearing quartz veins. The mineralized veining intersected was more dispersed than the characteristic Bralorne-style quartz veins as expected, but drilling did successfully confirm an additional style of gold mineralization on the property.

One hole (SB-2018-020) was extended westward towards the King Mine area targeting extensions to known veins. This hole is discussed in the following section. Results from the four Ned’s Vein target holes are reported in Table 3.

The final component of the Phase One drilling completed in Q3-Q4 2018 targeted extensions to known gold-bearing veins within the King Mine area. Many of these target veins either host current resources or had been mined historically while the King Mine was in production. Four holes were drilled predominantly targeting vein extensions above the King Mine 8 Level. One deep hole was drilled targeting several known veins to a depth of 715 metres below surface and down to the King Mine 18 Level.

Veins intersected in the King Mine Area drilling included the Shaft, Prince, New, North, King and Maud’s veins. Selected results from these four holes are reported in Table 4. Following the receipt of these new assays Avino is continuing to assess the resource potential of several veins in the King Mine Area.

The comprehensive structural review underway at the Bralorne Gold Mine has now been in progress for 11 months. This program has delivered valuable geological insights to develop a new conceptual model for the formation of the Bralorne-Pioneer vein system. This new conceptual model indicated that the large area northeast of the Ferguson fault has high potential to host another large Bralorne-style narrow vein gold system.

Initial drilling results from the NE Block obtained in Q1 2019 have confirmed the presence of a network of gold-bearing quartz veins. This vein network displays all the hallmarks of the Bralorne-Pioneer narrow vein gold system and the drilling data obtained has validated Avino’s new conceptual targeting model. In light of this revised targeting strategy, Avino is currently evaluating the larger claim package for additional mineralization potential.

Drilling has only just begun to test the mineralization potential of the NE Block. Avino will continue to explore the newly defined vein network in the NE Block targeting a potentially high-grade gold vein system. Approximately 13,500 metres of drilling remains within the current exploration program.

Bottura, Alajmo, Romito, Crippa, Uliassi I Cinque Cappelli 2018 de L'Espresso

New Post has been published on http://www.it-gourmet.it/2017/10/23/bottura-alajmo-romito-crippa-uliassi-i-cinque-cappelli-2018-de-lespresso/

Bottura, Alajmo, Romito, Crippa, Uliassi I Cinque Cappelli 2018 de L'Espresso

La Guida I Ristoranti d’Italia de L’Espresso compie 40 anni e si è presentata oggi a Firenze. I Cinque cappelli premiano Bottura, Alajmo, Romito, Crippa e Uliassi; il giovane dell’anno è Davide Caranchini a Cernobbio. La novità invece è rappresentata dai Cappelli d’Oro, i “nuovi classici”: ne sono stati assegnati 10.

La copertina è oro, richiamando un po’ l’anniversario, un po’ forse i nuovi Cappelli: qualsiasi interpretazione se ne dia, sono 40 anni quelli della Guida I Ristoranti d’Italia de L’Espresso, presentata stamattina a Firenze, alla Stazione Leopolda, in collaborazione con Pitti Immagine (nella stessa occasione è stata presentata anche la Guida I Vini d’Italia, di cui abbiamo già dato notizia in anticipo).

Enzo Vizzari presenta le Guide alla Leopolda (repubblica.it)

La Guida ha ribadito la rivoluzione dei Cappelli voluta già dall’anno scorso da Vizzari. Una scelta che noi di Italia a Tavola giudicammo a suo tempo importante e di onestà intellettuale, che rinunciava a quei giudizi calcolati in centesimi, dando più valore alla Cucina italiana.

Sarà per un giudizio estremamente gradito, sarà per una comunicazione più efficace, i Cappelli restano e anzi, raddoppiano nel format, colorandosi anche d’oro. Questi nuovi simboli stanno ad indicare i ristoranti che hanno costruito la storia della Cucina italiana degli ultimi decenni, e sono in tutto dieci.

Avino: Silver Production in Mexico, Gold Exploration in B.C.

Source: James Kwantes for Streetwise Reports   11/08/2018

James Kwantes profiles a long-time, stable silver producer with growing deposits in Mexico and a "call option" on high-grade gold in Canada.

Long before Hollywood directors made it a favored setting for westerns. . .before Pancho Villa rose from the poverty of a hacienda there to become an important Revolutionary general. . .the Mexican state of Durango was a major center for global silver production.

Understanding silver's role in Mexico—formerly part of "New Spain"—requires stepping back about 500 years. The precious metal has been mined in Durango since the time of the Spanish conquest, more or less continuously. Silver enriched the Spanish king and bolstered the treasury, helping fund wars against European rivals. It also funded a magnificent cathedral that still stands in the state capital, also named Durango. And coins minted from Mexican silver soon became a global currency.

One of the sources of that mineral wealth was Avino, the "mountain of silver" on the eastern flank of the Sierra Madre mountains outside of the city of Durango. It's an ore body now being mined by Vancouver-based Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM:TSX.V; ASM:NYSE.MKT). Avino produces silver, as well as gold and copper, from two underground mines: the main Avino deposit and San Gonzalo, a small higher-grade deposit about two kilometers away.

The metal remains a major export for Mexico, and Avino's silver still makes its way around the world. But these days, it's purchased by a division of Samsung. Samsung C&T purchases all of Avino's production at spot prices and ships it to smelters in Asia.

Avino founder Lou Wolfin

Avino was founded by current CEO David Wolfin's father Lou Wolfin (above), who in 1968 bought a 49% stake in the mothballed Mexican mine—which had closed in 1912 due to the Mexican Revolution. The joint venture put the mine back into production, and Avino later purchased the remaining stake from the Mexican family that owned it. Avino's 50-year history is one of the features that sets the company apart in a junior mining sector where longevity is typically measured in years, not decades.

CEO David Wolfin's roots at Avino run deep, too—as a teenager, he worked in the underground mine. Lou Wolfin, who died on March 3, 2017, at age 85, was an entrepreneur and inventor who showed a willingness to invest where others feared to tread. And although the company founder's path to silver mining in Durango started on Howe Street, it began with a detour through Beverly Hills.

That's where the elder Wolfin met Mexican entrepreneur Fernando Ysita at a party in the late 1960s. The chance Hollywood encounter led to forays into Mexico and, eventually, a major investment. Avino purchased a 49-per-cent stake (the maximum allowed) in 1968 when Mexico re-opened to foreign investment. The company later bought the rest of the mine from the Ysita family.

Lou Wolfin was a contemporary of Murray Pezim and a bit of a legend in Vancouver business circles. A former stockbroker, Wolfin bought a seat on the Vancouver Stock Exchange in 1960 and later opened a Vancouver brokerage house. His entrepreneurial instincts extended far beyond mining—he owned the patent on holograms and developed a keyless door-lock entry system decades before those became common.

But it's in mining that the elder Wolfin's legacy is felt most acutely. He wasn't there to see it, but Avino celebrated its 50-year milestone at the Vancouver Resource and Investment Conference in January. Among those at the party were employees who had been there from the beginning, as well as a contingent from Samsung headquarters in Seoul, South Korea.

The Avino mine on the "mountain of silver."

I toured the Avino mines—which also produce gold and copper concentrates—on a site visit to Durango late last year. After flying into the state capital of Durango via Mexico City, we shuttled to the Hotel Gobernador, a hacienda that was formerly a state prison (complete with bullet holes on one of the outer walls). Our group, mostly German investors and analysts, was hosted by Avino CEO David Wolfin, COO Carlos Rodrigues and investor relations manager Jennifer North.

The mine is about an hour-and-a-half drive through towns and a countryside that looks familiar thanks to westerns such as "How The West Was Won" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." The city of Durango has its own walk of fame featuring Hollywood stars on the sidewalk and several bronze statues including John Wayne—The Duke totes a rifle missing its barrel. (John Candy died of a heart attack in the city in 1994 during a break from filming "Wagons East.")

At the mine, silver, gold and copper concentrates are processed using a flotation circuit from ore mined at Avino and San Gonzalo. For the last three years, production has held steady at or above the 2.7 million ounces silver-equivalent produced in 2017 (2.68 million AgEq oz in 2016, 3 million AgEq oz in 2015).

But a project under construction when I visited and now largely complete should hike that total significantly: the fourth mill circuit. That circuit—with a ball mill purchased from a Quebec mine—is now complete and set to process ore in the first quarter of 2019. The circuit is projected to boost capacity by about 70%, to 2,500 tonnes per day. Once the fourth circuit is commissioned, it will process ore from the San Luis (expansion) area of the Avino mine.

The fourth circuit at Avino's mill, under construction when I visited, is now complete.

Avino announced Q3 2018 production on Oct. 15 and the company's silver-equivalent production dropped by 7% year-over-year, to 704,429 ounces AgEq. Avino produced 342,151 ounces of silver (down 7% YOY), 2,204 ounces of gold (down 18% YOY) and 992,271 pounds of copper (down 10% YOY). The lower production and declining grades are partly because San Gonzalo is reaching the end of its mine life as Avino transitions to San Luis ore.

About 90% of Avino's workers live in villages a short drive away from the mine. The local workers have been a constant for the last five centuries—the jobs pay well and are highly coveted. It's quite a contrast to the fly-in, fly-out contract mining methods at many modern mines. That helps on the community relations front, in addition to Avino's decades-long presence there.

The Sinaloa cartel operates in Durango but our group travelled without guards or security, and neither is there a visible security presence at the mine. There are signs of a cartel presence if you pay attention, however, in and around Durango. The police station outside the city is built high on a hill and resembles a fortress. A prison we passed also looked seriously secure.

At the mine site, our group of analysts, investors and newsletter writers donned waterproof protective and safety gear and descended into both mines, the temperature rising with each lower level. It was vaguely reminiscent of the silver price, which has fallen more or less consistently and is now stuck under US$15 after running to almost $50 an ounce in April 2011.

That's made it tough for silver producers to make money, and Avino is no exception. The company is also in expansion mode; there are exploration drilling projects at both the Avino mine and at the company's Bralorne project in British Columbia. Avino is also investigating the economics of processing oxide tailings at Avino. It all costs money, and Avino recently raised US$4.6 million through the sale of 65-cent (US) units.

Each unit consisted of one 65-cent share and a full five-year warrant exercisable at 80 cents. But the financing was announced with the stock at 79 cents US, and the below-market pricing prompted a selloff in the stock. In conjunction with Q3 production numbers, released October 15, Avino announced cost-reduction initiatives (capital, operating and administrative) at its operations in Mexico and British Columbia.

There are other examples in Avino's neighbourhood of how silver's struggles have hit other producers. Nearby is Coeur Mining's mothballed Preciosa silver deposit, purchased for $382 million from Orko Silver in 2013. That deal was done with silver at about US$30 an ounce.

Growing production from the fourth circuit gives Avino good leverage to rising silver prices. When and if that occurs is anybody's guess, but the silver price has a track record of bouncing hard when it reverses. One measure suggestive of a silver bull market is the gold-silver ratio, which is above 80 and near a historical record. Silver has made outsized returns each time it has reached these levels.

Avino also has leverage to gold at Bralorne, its under-the-radar Canadian project. Bralorne is nestled amid rugged mountains in British Columbia's South Chilcotin range. It was the epicenter of a major gold mining camp that produced 4.2 million ounces of gold between 1928 and 1971. The three adjacent mines—Bralorne, Pioneer and King—produced extremely high-grade ore. Average head grades were above 0.5 ounces per tonne, or 14 g/t gold—multiples of global mined grades that are now below 1 g/t Au.

Avino's Bralorne project site: July 2018.

Bralorne, where Avino is in the middle of a fully funded 28,000-meter drill program, has the potential to become the flagship and a company maker, if things work out. The project already hosts a state-of-the-art water treatment system and dozens of kilometers of underground workings as well as brand-new mining equipment. The latter equipment—including two scoop trams and a jumbo drill—was purchased as part of a prior plan to start small and ramp up production. The company now plans to focus on expanding the historical resource before starting up a larger mine.

As with Avino, Lou Wolfin played a key role in securing the property, including the historical mine workings. Wolfin bought the Bralorne-Pioneer Mines from Homestake and brought it into Avino in 1990. He got Bralorne running at 100 tonnes per day (in a separate company) but the mine shut down due to low silver prices. Bralorne was brought back into Avino in 2014.

Avino funded the drill program through a $6-million flow-through financing priced at $2.00 (Cdn) per share. The drill program is the most extensive in the project's history, and includes both exploration and resource drilling. The company is using two drill rigs; assay results should start landing in the first quarter of 2019.

The existing Bralorne resource, announced on Oct. 21, 2016, is 91,528 ounces Measured and Indicated at average grades of 0.33 oz/t gold (9.36 g/t) and 83,900 ounces Inferred at 0.22 oz/t gold (6.2 g/t).

Independent geoscientist Garth Kirkham of Kirkham Geosystems completed the NI 43-101 resource model and also played a major role in designing the current drill program. Kirkham is an award-winning geoscientist known for his resource estimation and 3D modelling work. He has worked extensively with John Robins' Discovery Group companies, including Kaminak Gold (acquired by Goldcorp) and Bluestone Resources (BSR-V). The drilling follows structural modelling and geological mapping as well as airborne and ground geophysics.

Avino's investment proposition is that of a stable silver producer with growing, lower-grade deposits and a call option on high-grade gold at Bralorne, where drill assays could provide catalysts for the share price.

Avino Silver and Gold Mines (ASM-T) Price: CA$0.85 Shares outstanding: 63.3 million (75.5 million fully diluted) Market cap: CA$53.8 million
