The program includes a 28,000 metre drill program which commenced late last week," said David Wolfin, Avino president and CEO. The exploration program includes structural modelling and geological mapping; airborne and ground geophysics surveys; geochemical sampling; and the 28,000-metre drilling campaign. Drilling has two  objectives – increase the inferred resource and find new discoveries. Avino acquired the Bralorne mine in 2014. From 1928 to 1971 the Bralorne and nearby Pioneer and King mines produced 4.15 million oz. of gold from ore that graded more than 17 g/t gold (half-ounce). Before Avino acquired it, Bralorne began trial production at 100-t/d in 2010. Read more about Bralorne at www.Avino.com.
