So far this year, Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (NYSE:ASM) has gained over 12%, slightly underperforming the Other Precious Metals & Mining industry’s 15% gain. Meanwhile, over a one-year period, the stock surpassed the industry’s 200% return, rising over 250%. This reflects the robust performance of gold and silver miners over the past year. As of the time of writing, silver has surged over 180% since the start of 2025.

Building on those positive developments, management guided 2.4-2.7 million silver-equivalent ounces for 2026. The company’s focus on development work at La Preciosa lowered management’s expectations regarding its five-year production plan. Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (NYSE:ASM)’s cash position remains healthy, and therefore, management expects silver-equivalent production to remain strong into 2027.
