David Wolfin, President and CEO, and Nathan Harte, CFO of Avino Silver and Gold Mines (TSX:ASM – NYSE:ASM), both join me for a video review of the key metrics and takeaways from the Q4 operations at both the Avino Mine and now with first production contributions from the La Preciosa Mine, both located in Durango, Mexico. We also discuss the 30,000 meter drill program, with exploration divided equally across both project areas to increase resources, and outline the future growth initiatives and value proposition for the company.
We start off having David highlight the Company’s 5-year production growth plan, to become a larger Mexican intermediate silver producer. With the ramping up of development and first production at the La Preciosa Project in late 2025, this will lead to meaningful production growth in 2026 and beyond along side the Avino Mine. Then starting in 2028, the Tailings Project will further augment production and lower costs.
Fourth quarter 2025 production was 345,298 silver oz, 1,687 gold oz, 1,295,244 copper pounds (“lbs”), , for consolidated production of 671,583 silver equivalent (AgEq) ounces (oz), with over 50% of AgEq production coming from silver.
Full year 2025 production results of 1,157,828 silver oz, 7,621 gold oz and 5,667,996 of copper lbs for a total of 2.6 million AgEq oz. Full year production results were within thier production estimated guidance of 2.5 to 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS – Q4 2025
Commenced Processing of La Preciosa Development Material: Avino commenced extraction, haulage and processing of mineralized development material from the La Preciosa Mine during the quarter at an average rate of 200 tonnes per day. In total, 11,995 tonnes of mineralized material were processed at the Avino milling and processing facility, which is located 19 kilometres away from the entrance to the La Preciosa Mine.
Silver Production Increased 22%: Avino produced 345,298 silver equivalent ounces in Q4 2025, representing a strong increase from Q4 of 2024. The increase was driven by development production from La Preciosa, which contributed 48,244 silver ounces, as well as 6% higher silver production from the Avino Mine.
Continued Elevated Mill Throughput: In Q4 2025, Avino achieved 4% higher mill throughput versus Q4 2024, totalling 189,338 tonnes of material. These throughput levels have been consistent throughout 2025 and were a result of upgrades and automation enhancements made by our operations and maintenance teams, resulting in significant improvements in mill availability.
Rapid progress at La Preciosa: Avino announced the commencement of underground development at La Preciosa on January 15, 2025, and has been able to extract, haul, process and sell mineralized material from the mine in less than 1 year. Over 24,000 tonnes of material have been mined from La Preciosa in 2025.
The Gloria and Abundancia veins have been intercepted on the San Fernando ramp that has been driven from surface to Level 3. Development mining is taking place in both directions, south and north of the ramp on each vein for a total of 4 working development faces.
Avino had approximately US$100 million in cash as of December 31, 2025, as their balance sheet continues to strengthen in this high underlying metals price environment and in line with the company growth initiatives.

In this daily editorial, we are joined by Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep show and founder of the Stock Trader Network. As earnings season continues to put a spotlight on heavy capital expenditures in the tech sector, Joel breaks down the noticeable shift in market sentiment and what it means for the broader indices.
The conversation explores the growing tension between AI-driven growth and high valuations, contrasting the recent tech sell-off with the steady performance of value-oriented sectors. Joel shares his seasoned perspective on why diversification and cash-flow-positive companies are becoming the primary focus for institutional investors in the current environment.
Key Discussion Points:
The AI Spending Pivot: Why the market is no longer rewarding massive CapEx on AI, even when companies like Google (GOOGL) report strong revenue growth.
Software Sector Vulnerability: A look at how AI tools are allowing users to rewrite code, potentially wounding traditional software models and forcing a "sea change" in tech.
The Return to Value: Why "companies that sell things" like Kroger (KR) and Walmart (WMT) are gaining favor as investors seek safety in cash flow and dividends.
Risk Management & The "YOLO" Trade: A deep dive into the reversal of fortune for retail favorites like Bitcoin, Robinhood (HOOD), and Coinbase (COIN), and why cost-basis perspective is critical.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition that caught his attention from post conference meetings and based on recent news from 1 gold developer/explorer and 1 earlier-stage gold exploration company; both going after drill targets on large potential Tier-1 deposits that would be of interest to senior producers if discoveries are made.
>> The companies we discussed in the interview are:
Goldsky Resources Corp (TSXV: GSKR) (FNSE: GSKR SDB) (OTCQX: GSKRF) (FRA: HEG0)
On January 28th, 2026 the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Agnico Eagle Sweden AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, pursuant to which Goldsky has agreed to acquire the remaining 55% interest in the Barsele Gold Project in Sweden from Agnico, resulting in Goldsky consolidating 100% ownership of Barsele.
On February 3rd, 2026 the Company announced commencement of the 2026 winter drilling season at its 100% owned Rajapalot property in Northern Finland. Four diamond drill-rigs have been mobilized to site over the past weeks and have begun a 10,000 meter drilling program.
Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. (TSXV: KLDC) (OTCID: KLKLF)
On January 22nd, 2026 the Company announced an update on its ongoing, fully funded 25,000-m diamond drilling program at its KL West Property in the Kirkland Lake region of Ontario. Recent drilling and associated geochemical results have confirmed altered syenite intrusions as a primary control on gold mineralization at the Wolverine Bend target. These results validate the Company's exploration model and significantly expand the interpreted scale and style of intrusion-related gold mineralization along the Winnie Lake Stock ("WLS") contact corridor.
ON December 18th, 2026 the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Orecap Invest Corp. providing for the acquisition of the Mirado Gold Project, a 2,500-hectare property hosting an inferred historical resource of 10.6 Mt at 1.29 g/t for ~442,000 oz Au with strong opportunities for near-resource expansion and regional discovery.

Graham Richardson, CFO of Faraday Copper (TSX:FDY – OTCQX:CPPKF), joins me to provide a comprehensive #exploration overview of the key objectives and targets of the ongoing 40,000 meter Phase 4 drill program, at their 100% owned Copper Creek Project in Arizona. This drilling will be factoring into an updated copper Resource Estimate, and will be combined with other data-collection and metallurgical studies which are all feeding into more advanced project economics.
Half of this Phase 4 drill program will continue to be focused on defining, expanding, and testing new targets all around the American Eagle Area of the Project. Graham and I discuss the follow up plan for a number of key targets at the recently discovered Banjo Breccia and Winchester Breccia, Giuseppe, and Prada. In addition, 10,000 meters will be allocated on true exploration by putting some holes into earlier-stage exploration targets at the Sunrise Trend and Bunker Hill area (which may indicate the presence of a new porphyry system).
Highlights from the first batch of drill holes from Phase 4:
Five drill holes in the American Eagle area intersected near-surface mineralization above open pit cutoff grade and further the potential for an open pit resource to be defined above the existing American Eagle underground resource.
Drill hole FCD-25-134 intersected several mineralized intervals for a combined 177 metres (“m”) greater than 0.30% copper, expanding the known extent of the Winchester breccia to within 100 m from surface. Copper intercepts include:
17.58 m at 0.44% copper from 109.42 m;
16.46 m at 0.57% copper from 184.54 m; and
45.25 m at 0.42% copper from 256.28 m.
North of the Banjo breccia, drill hole FCD-25-129 intersected 56.00 m at 0.41% copper from 160.00 m (approximately 100 m below surface), including 24.00 m at 0.64% from 164.00 m.
The drill holes reported herein further increased confidence of the near-surface mineralization in the American Eagle area and geotechnical holes confirmed the rock competency is consistent with the current resource, and is suitable for efficient open pit mining.
About 10,000 meters of the Phase 4 campaign will be following up on results from Phase 3 that targeted near-surface supergene copper mineralization with the goal of better understanding the distribution of oxide mineralization. This near-surface oxide mineralization would be leachable and important in the early years of a development scenario of the Copper Creek Project.
In addition to expanding mineralization, testing new breccia targets, and infilling the American Eagle area in the upcoming Phase 4 drilling, there still will be some further definition holes drilled down into the deeper porphyry targets at the American Eagle and Keel deposits to better understand the geological controls, hydrology, and structural mineralization.
The company is well cashed up to complete all these work programs in 2026. Graham highlights the strong roster of shareholders, including the Lundin Family and Murray Edwards, as well as a number of institutional investment firms. We wrap up discussing the infrastructure advantages and positives of operating in Arizona as a jurisdiction.
If you have any questions for Graham regarding Faraday Copper, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.
In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Faraday Copper at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.

In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we are joined by Dave Erfle, founder and editor of the Junior Miner Junky, to break down one of the most volatile weeks in recent precious metals history. After a parabolic run in January, the sector faced a massive Friday washout that left many investors questioning the trend. Dave provides his insights on risk management, technical support levels, and why this "gentleman’s entry" might be the reset the market needed before the next leg higher.
Key Discussion Points:
Market Volatility and Technical Corrections: Dave analyzes the massive volume spikes in GDX and GDXJ, explaining why a 20% correction in gold and a 40% move in silver are actually healthy resets within a broader bull market.
Silver Stocks and Leverage Dynamics: A look at the SIL and SILJ ratios reveals why silver miners have lagged behind the metal and why the upcoming Q4 earnings season could trigger a massive sector re-rating.
M&A Trends and Copper’s Growing Role: From Eldorado Gold’s acquisition of Foran Mining to Zijin Mining’s move on Allied Gold, we explore why major producers are aggressively hunting for base and precious metal assets.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins us for a Q4 operations and exploration review at their producing McCreedy West copper mine, located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. We also review the continued high-grade drill results across copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver in more recent assays returned from the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine.
Q4 Operational Highlights:
During the quarter, McCreedy West produced 84,953 tons of ore from the 700 Copper Zone at an average grade of 1.31% copper, 0.23% nickel, 1.05 g/t platinum, 1.10 g/t palladium, 0.45 g/t gold and 15.51 g/t silver. This was an increase of 13% over Q3 as mining rates increased in November and December, following the compressed air system failure and the power related delays.
Underground development during the quarter totaled 1,688 feet, in line with Company forecasts.
With three underground diamond drill rigs turning at McCreedy West during the quarter, the drilling totaled 29,334 feet, an increase of 91% over Q3 2025.
Magna’s development crews are now fully staffed and we no longer are using mining contractors for our underground development.
The results of a Life of Mine (“LOM”) plan for McCreedy West, which will include our maiden reserve estimate, is expected to be released in the coming weeks in conjunction with our 2026 guidance.
Jason mentioned ending 2025 on a high note for November and December operations, with strong fourth quarter production, combined with excellent development and diamond drilling footage. This has allowed the operations team to remove low grade stopes from their mining plans and focus on quality production. Although copper is our most important metal at McCreedy West, the grades for gold, platinum and palladium during Q4 were more than double what was mined in Q3, and silver grades were up more than 40% during a period of strong precious metals prices. This highlights the unique polymetallic nature of Sudbury deposits, providing the flexibility to tailor mining operations to the prevailing commodity price trends.
Wrapping up we widened the scope beyond just the currently producing McCreedy West mine, to the exploration and development of the Levack Mine as another flagship asset in their portfolio. There has been a continuous series of positive polymetallic drill results coming back from different areas of the Levack Mine, with many of those consolidated into the Mineral Resource Estimate on December 31st. The Company is doing background mining planning and resource modeling to move Levack towards a mine plan of operations later in the year, which will set up the decision to move this mine back into production.
If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.
