[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2025 / Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:ASM) (NYSE American:ASM) (FSE:GV6)(\"Avino\" or \"the Company\") reports results of four drill holes from La Preciosa which were drilled to twin previous drilling. Assay results for the intercepts of the La Gloria and Abundancia veins were very positive and are shown in Table 1. Selected Intercept Highlights: Hole PMLP 25-03: 1,638 g/t Ag and 1.92 g/t Au over 7.90 metres true width including 15,352 g/t Ag and 1.55 g/t Au over 0.37 metres true width Hole PMLP 25-04: 544 g/t Ag and 0.46 g/t Au over 6.42 metres true width including 1,739 g/t Ag and 0.74 g/t Au over 0.66 metres true width The variation of grades and thicknesses within relatively short distances (under 10 metres) compared with previously drilled intercepts were expected due to the \"pinch and swell\" geometry of the La Preciosa veins and the high nugget effects. The drill results exceeded grade expectations and verified the geometry of the current vein-based resource model. Higher grades intersected in the northern portion of the La Gloria Vein (in hole PMLP-25-02) are expected to continue further to the North and warrant additional step-out drilling to potentially expand the mineral resource defined on the shallow La Gloria Vein. \"We are delighted to report excellent grades on all four holes at La Preciosa. The intercept grades are significantly higher than the average grades outlined in our current resource, highlighting the potential we aim to capture by using underground mining methods. In addition, the larger widths encountered at both La Gloria and Abundancia were a welcome surprise underscoring that there is still much to learn about this deposit despite the 1,500 drill holes and substantial exploration investment performed by previous operators,\" said David Wolfin, President and CEO. \"We will integrate these results into our ongoing geological model and continue drilling some of the underexplored areas of the named and unnamed veins. We will also combine this information with the data from channel sampling already underway as our mine development plan has us intersecting both veins during the current ramp advancement\". Drilling Results Assays have been received on four holes totalling 1,100 metres drilled at La Preciosa, intersecting the La Gloria vein in all four...
