Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:ASM, NYSE American:ASM) announced its second quarter, 2018 production results from its Avino property near Durango, Mexico.

As quoted in the press release:

Silver equivalent production in Q2, 2018 increased by 6 percent compared to Q2, 2017 due to extra production from the commissioning of Mill Circuit 4. Copper production in Q2, 2018 increased by 31 percent compared to Q2, 2017, and silver and gold production decreased by 16 percent and 11 percent, respectively; the latter are due to lower silver and gold feed grades from the Avino and San Gonzalo mines.

• Silver equivalent production increased by 6 percent to 738,853 ounces
