Drilling Results on ET Zone at Avino's Durango Mexico Property
January 17 2008 - 7:00AM
Marketwired Canada
Diamond core drilling resumed at Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.'s (TSX
VENTURE:ASM)(OTCBB:ASGMF)(BERLIN:GV6)(FRANKFURT:GV6) Durango property on Monday,
January 7, 2008. There are currently two diamond core drill rigs from Tecmin
Servicios, S.A. de C.V., one exploring the ET zone (Hole ET-08-01) the other on
various exploration targets. These locations can be viewed on our website at
www.avino.com.
Results of holes SG-07-32 through 40 on the San Gonzalo zone have been released
in a separate news release. Avino is now pleased to release results of the first
10 holes on the ET zone of the main Avino vein from which the Company mined
gold, silver and copper ore from 1975 through 2001.
The hole locations can be viewed on our website both in plan and longitudinal
section. The intersections shown are down the hole lengths. In each case the
initial figure is the total intersection through the Avino vein. Also shown are
significant intersections within the Avino vein. The complete intersection
results for each hole are too numerous to be shown in this news release but can
be viewed on our website.
ET-07-01 (Bearing 001 - Dip 69 - Length 298.6m)
Total Avino vein intersection: 216.35 - 293.65m (77.3m)
Significant intersection: 284.90 - 290.0m (5.1m), 0.055 g/t gold, 114 g/t silver
(0.002oz/t gold, 3.32oz/ton silver), 8385 ppm copper.
