ASM: TSX/NYSE American
VANCOUVER, BC, July 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:
ASM) (NYSE American: ASM) (FSE: GV6) ("Avino" or "the
Company") reports that members from the Mexican mining
union have blocked the entrance to the Avino Mine near Durango, Mexico. The group includes the
Company's unionized workers. The Company remains receptive to
having good-faith discussions with representatives of the
authorized union. As a result of the strike at the site,
the Company has temporarily halted mining and mill processing
operations.
"We have many dedicated workers and community supporters that
have expressed their interest and backing. Avino has a strong
desire in supporting the community surrounding our mine site and
supporting our shareholders by working diligently towards an end to
this slow down." said David Wolfin,
President and CEO. "Our team in Mexico is handling this difficult challenge,
and it is consequently very disappointing for all of us that this
strike has held up the hard work and progress following the
completed ramp-up of operations."
On Behalf of the Board
"David Wolfin"
