Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM: TSX.V, ASM: NYSE – MKT, GV6: FSE, “Avino” or “the Company”) announces the following updates from its Avino property in Durango, Mexico. Avino is pleased to announce that the plans which were discussed in January, 2017 are progressing very well. The updates below from its Avino and San Gonzalo Mines include the ongoing plant and mine expansion to increase throughput capacity at the processing plant by approximately 70%, as well as the advancement of the Oxide Tailings Resource project with the recently announced positive Preliminary Economic Assessment. Additionally, an optimization review of our internal operating plan was carried out which prompted discussions and studies on Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”) alternatives. The foregoing resulted in a recommendation to use tailings as backfill, which led to a temporary halt in construction of the new TSF in order to gain a further understanding of this possible alternative.

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (NYSE-MKT:ASM: TSX.V, ASM; “Avino” or the “Company”) announces first quarter 2017 production results from its Avino property near Durango, Mexico. Consolidated Production Highlights for First Quarter 2017 (Compared to First Quarter 2016)  Silver equivalent decreased by 16% to 604,643 oz*  Gold production increased by 23% to 1,837 oz  Silver production decreased by 21% to 320,082 oz  Copper production decreased by 24% to 1,024,853 lbs For comparison purposes, the silver equivalent ratio has been calculated using metal prices of $17.42 oz Ag, $1,220 oz Au and $2.65 Lb Cu. Mill production figures have not been reconciled and are subject to adjustment with concentrate sales. Calculated figures may not add up due to rounding. “We have experienced lower production and development numbers this quarter compared to the first quarter of last year, with the exception of gold production, which has increased by 23%. While the results are lower mainly due to lower grade material, we are still looking to achieve another solid year. We anticipate that the grades will improve for the balance of the year as we enter a new high grade zone at San Gonzalo which is currently being developed, and should allow the yearly production levels to be consistent with the Company’s internal expectations. In 2017, our objectives are to continue working towards our growth strategy which includes the plant and mine expansion to increase throughput capacity at the processing plant by an estimated 70%. We also remain focused on the optimization of the mill and plant with full automation to improve efficiencies and potentially increase recovery rates.”

CARSON CITY, Nev., March 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mexus Gold US (OTCQB:MXSG) (“Mexus” or the “Company”) announced that the initial assay results of the cyanide solution returning to the holding pond is better than expected.  On-site engineers have been collecting samples at the outflow pipe twice a day for lab testing.  The numbers equate to an average grade for all assays of 1 gram per ton entering the pond.

“This is exciting news for Mexus and our JV Partner.  The Initial amount of gold returning to the recovery pond is normally lower during the first weeks of cyanide being introduced to a pad.  These returns increase as the cyanide is able to work through the mineralized material.  I would expect our numbers to increase as pad 1 gets fully saturated which should take another week.  Overall, I’m thrilled with the progress being made at the Santa Elena mine.  We have gold in our recovery pond and will be processing gold shortly,” added Mexus CEO Paul Thompson.

http://www.powderbulksolids.com/news/CyPlus-Idesa-Sodium-Cyanide-Production-Begins-in-Mexico-02-22-2017

The new CyPlus Idesa sodium cyanide production plant was officially opened with an inauguration ceremony in Coatzacoalcos (Veracruz, Mexico) in the presence of Dr. Klaus Engel, chairman of the executive board of Evonik Industries and Patricio Gutiérrez Fernandez, chairman of CyPlus Idesa.

CyPlus Idesa is a joint venture between German Evonik and Mexican Grupo IDESA.

The new sodium cyanide plant has a capacity of 40,000 metric tons and uses state-of-the-art hydrocyanic acid and cyanide technologies. Special attention was dedicated to the compliance of all environmental and safety regulations, ensuring that production of sodium cyanide complies with the provisions of the “International Cyanide Management Code” (ICMC).

Gold and silver mining operations use sodium cyanide to extract precious metals from the mineral. Mexico is the number one producer of silver in the world and ranks among the top 15 producers of gold worldwide.

“The new local production facility will make us an even better and more flexible supplier for our customers in the region. The facility represents another important step in the growth strategy of Evonik,” said Engel.
