AVINO ANNOUNCES INCLUSION IN GLOBAL JUNIOR GOLD MINERS INDEX ("GDXJ")

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. has been added to the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Index (MVGDXJTR) and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), effective at market close on Sept. 19, 2025, pursuant to the GDXJ's semi-annual review and quarterly rebalance.

"We are excited to be included in the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF, a milestone that reinforces the investment case for Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.," said David Wolfin, president and chief executive officer. "This inclusion reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team and positions Avino to attract a broader base of institutional and retail investors. With La Preciosa advancing on plan, we are poised to execute on our clear path to transformational growth and becoming Mexico's next intermediate primary silver producer."

The GDXJ is a globally recognized exchange-traded fund that tracks small-cap companies primarily involved in gold and silver development and mining. Inclusion in this ETF (exchange-traded fund) may increase Avino's common share liquidity and further position Avino as attractive investment opportunity for investors seeking exposure to industry leading silver and gold projects.

About Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.

Avino is a silver producer from its wholly owned Avino mine near Durango, Mexico. The company's silver, gold and copper production remains unhedged.

Early in 2024, the prefeasibility study on the oxide tailings project was completed. This study is a key milestone in the company's growth trajectory. As part of Avino's commitment to adopting sustainable practices, the company has been operating a dry stack tailings facility for more than one year now with excellent results. The company is committed to managing all business activities in a safe, environmentally responsible and cost-effective manner, while contributing to the well-being of the communities in which the company operates.
