Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:ASM)(OTCBB:ASGMF)(BERLIN:GV6)(FRANKFURT:GV6) is pleased to announce
results from drilling programs at its San Gonzalo Deposit and ET Zone (Main
Avino Vein) on the Avino property north east of Durango, Mexico.
At San Gonzalo results of the first 2008 diamond drill holes, SG-08-01 and 02
were released September 17, 2008. The Company is now pleased to release results
of the remaining four holes drilled at San Gonzalo this year. Hole locations are
shown on Avino's website www.avino.com.
(All lengths are down hole distances.)
Hole SG-08-03 intersected San Gonzalo vein 322.20 - 325.7m (3.7m) 0.41 g/t gold
119 g/t silver which includes 322.00 - 323.70m (1.7m) 0.2 g/t gold 74.7 g/t
silver and 323.70 - 325.7m (2.0m) 0.58 g/t gold 156 g/t silver.

Avino also drilled eight core holes totalling 2,183m on the ET (Elena-Tolosa)
Zone on the main Avino vein in 2008, below the area where the Company ceased
production in November 2001 due to low metal prices.
The eight holes in 2008 were mostly positioned in order to define the western
and eastern edges of the ET ore shoot, locations are shown in plan and section
on the Company's website.
Hole ET-08-01 drilled on the eastern side of the ET shoot below level 9. The
hole intersected the Avino vein but gold and silver values are low.
Avino vein 196.90 - 213.40m (16.5m).
