Avino Silver & Gold Mines (TSX.V-ASM)

Avino has been on our radar screen for a quite some time. It is one of the few companies with a history going back several decades and the same management team has navigated the company through boom and bust cycles for many years. In fact Avino, history reads like "who is who" of the silver world. In their day the great Paul Sarnoff and Jim Blanchard thought enough of Avino to invest in the company and recommend it to others (if interested contact David Wolfin at Avino for details of their forays). In January 24, 1994 issue of Barron`s Jim Dines featured Avino`s stock chart along with his interview. Bob Bishop of GMSR has followed Avino since 1988.

So what was it all about? The company has other properties, but it was mostly about its namesake Avino Silver & Gold Mine in Durango, Mexico. Over 27 years of operation the mine produced 16 million ounces of silver and was shut down due to low silver prices in 2001. In the last year of operation the mine produced 1 million ounces of silver and close to 1 million ounces of silver equivalent in gold and copper credits. What has changed since? A lot.

For starters, silver, gold and copper prices have gone up with copper just making a new all-time high so the main reason the mine was shut down is no longer there. More importantly, the company just received approval to acquire remaining 51% stake in the Avino project that it didn`t already have and consolidate full ownership of the property by issuing up to 4 million shares of Avino. This is very important for the company as it opens up many exciting opportunities.

There are three categories of assets on the property:

1. Tailings from prior production.
2. The underground mine.
3. 11,000 hectares of highly prospective land around the mine, of which no one inch has been explored by modern exploration methods.

At this point the company is looking at the tailings project as the fastest way to generate cash. It bears noting that this is one of the old "Spanish" mines that has been discovered back in the 1500s and mined in some way, shape and form ever since. Recovery grades in those days tended to average out at about 35% and based on prior estimates there are some 6,000,000 ounces of silver and 35,000 ounces of gold in those tailing. To confirm these numbers a feasibility study is under way that should be completed in November, 2005.

If proven correct, the company could start processing tailings by the end of 2006. The total value of tailings material is about US $50 MM and it will only take 3-5 MM $US of upfront capital expenses. Not big numbers by themselves but they will allow the company to become profitable and develop its other assets on this and other properties.

Early in 2003, Avino commissioned MineStart Management to examine the existing ore base, the feasibility of re-opening the mine and also the feasibility of processing the large tailings reserve. In a report dated April, 2003, MineStart concluded that enough exploration potential exists at the property to "develop a reserve inventory to support a profitable resumption of operations. Prior prospecting and preliminary exploration has found encouraging mineralized outcrop and veins to the east and north of the mine, and this justifies detailed exploration."

Long awaited consolidation of ownership of the Avino Mine makes the company an attractive takeover target. Larger companies, including Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL) which has its San Sebastian silver mine in the area, have already been circling Avino.

hm... knapp 12Mio issued entspricht einer MK von knapp 35Mio CAD. Nachdem was ich heute alles so gelesen hatte, habe ich mit 2500St. eine erste Position aufgebaut.

[posting]20.587.471 von birkos am 09.03.06 00:02:19[/posting]Hallo Leute, achtet mal auf Mines Management. Hier gibt es einen stabilen Auftwärtstrend. Tendenziell dürte es vor allem bis zum Sommer so weiter gehen. Dann nämlich wird die entscheidende staatliche Abbaugenehmigung für das zentrale Herzstück der Gesellschaft erwartet.
