At Avino, we believe that mining ethically creates lasting economic prosperity for local communities, shareholders, and employees—because our future depends on precious metals and responsible mining unlocks the potential for a brighter, more connected future for all.
Having mining operations in the same community in Mexico for more than 40 years, Avino has benefited from longstanding relationships that continue to aid the company’s ongoing development. Our goal is to make meaningful contributions to the communities in which we operate by engaging the local workforce, providing new opportunities and continually looking for ways to better the lives of our employees and their families.
Our goal is to minimize the environmental effects of our operations, provide a safe and healthy workplace for all our employees and contractors and to conserve both human and environmental resources for future generations.
