==== ASM Population: 1,400,000 ====
Total: Number of up to 2 million ASGM miners are reported, but may be over-estimations for a total population of ~40 million. Given the ongoing gold rush, estimates of 300,000 as by IGF-18 appear to be under-estimations. Some number between 800,000 (average minimum of ARM-18 and IGF-18) and 2,000,000 is believed to be reasonable -> **1,400,000** \\
Min/max: As above: **800,000 - 2,000,000** \\
Female participation: Islamic country & no photos of women miners in a web image search -> **0** \\
Gold: All data is for ASGM -> **1,400,000** \\
