On November 21, 2016, Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement dated November 21, 2016 (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation, as sole bookrunner, and Rodman & Renshaw, a unit of H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as lead manager, and certain co-managers (collectively, the “Underwriters”), to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 6,370,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at the price of US$1.57 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$10 million (the "Offering") in Canada and the United States of America. Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share of the Company (the “Common Shares”) and one-half (1/2) of one common share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant will be exercisable for a period of 36 months after the closing of the Offering and will entitle the holder to purchase one (1) additional Common Share at an exercise price of US$2.00, subject to adjustment.

In addition, the Company has granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") exercisable, in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of the Underwriters, to purchase up to an additional 955,500 Units at the Issue Price per Unit, for a period of up to 30 days after the closing of the Offering for additional aggregate proceeds to the Company of approximately US$1.5 million. In the event the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company will be approximately US$11.5 million.

The Company will pay the Underwriters a commission of 7.0% the gross proceeds of the Offering, including proceeds received from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and has agreed to provide Cantor with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Cantor for legal fees and disbursements in connection with entering into the Agreement.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on November 28, 2016, subject to obtaining customary TSX.V and NYSE MKT approvals. The Company intends to allocate the net proceeds of the Offering to advance the exploration and development of the Company’s Avino Mine and the exploration and development activities on the Bralorne Mine Property in British Columbia, and for general working capital.

The Underwriting Agreement permits termination in certain customary situations. Further, the Underwriting Agreement requires that the Company’s directors and officers enter into lock-up agreements for 90 days following the closing, as well as prohibits the Company from issuing stock for the 90 day period.

The Offering will be made by way of prospectus supplements, dated November 21, 2016, to the Company’s existing Canadian short form base shelf prospectus (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”) dated November 10, 2016, and U.S. registration statement on Form F-10 dated November 18, 2016 (File No. 333-214396) (the “Registration Statement”). This Report on Form 6-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
