[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, March 9, 2022 /CNW/ - Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: ASM) (NYSE American: ASM) (FSE: GV6), \"Avino\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce drill results from the La Potosina area of the Avino property. The 2021 drill program included 2,400 metres of drilling at La Potosina. An area of the Avino property that has been known to host high-grade, low sulphidation style mineraliation similar to that encountered at Avino's San Gonzalo Mine. The La Potosina area is only 3 kilometres from the San Gonzalo Mine and just 5 kilometres from the mill facilities at the Avino Mine. Following Up on Historic Data Which Returned 2,737 g/t AgEq Over 0.40 Metres Within 329 g/t AgEq Over 6.30 Metres Just over 10 years ago drilling at La Potosina identified near surface structure similar to the San Gonzalo Vein and was continuous for 300 metres and had a vertical extension of 1,000 metres. A recent surface rights agreement was reached in early 2021 with the local landowner and as a result this area has become a high priority for Avino. Highlights from the 2021 drill program are as follows: Hole LP-21-06 from 333.05m to 337.45m returns 4.40 metres at 270 g/t Ag, 2.5% Zn and 0.9% Pb (463 g/t AgEq) Including 333.05m to 333.25m returns 0.20 metres at 1,257 g/t Ag, 4.4% Zn and 2.8% Pb (1,641 g/t AgEq)Including 335.55m to 335.90m returns 0.35 metres at 510 g/t Ag, 5.0% Zn and 2.2% Pb (918 g/t AgEq)Including 335.90m to 336.35m returns 0.45 metres at 406 g/t Ag,4.2% Zn and 1.3% Pb (717 g/t AgEq) Hole LP-21-07 from 151.70 to 154.65 returns 2.95 metres at 617 g/t Ag and 0.40 g/t Au (668 g/t AgEq) Drill results are located in a table at the end of this release and includes historical data. Our 2022 plans include an additional 40 holes with 6,000 metres of drilling. \"We are excited to continue exploring the La Potosina area and I want to commend our personnel on site who were able to negotiate the surface rights agreement,\" said David Wolfin, President and CEO. \"Following our exploration strategy discussed previously, La Potosina factors in prominently as one of our high-grade, near surface targets. This target has the potential to supplement our current feed to the mill in the near to medium term. We are excited to continue exploring this area and it will be a focus for our 2022 exploration plans....
