ASM Population: 17,500
Total: limited data, mainly based on UBC-14 statistic modelling. Adopting data of IGF-18 → 17,500
Min/max: as above → 15,000 - 20,000
Female participation: no data. Working hypothesis 20% as typical in equatorial Africa→ 4,000
Gold: All data for ASGM → 17,500
Data sources for estimation
2018: 17,500
(IGF-18): 15,000 - 20,000 (17,500)
2014: 20,000
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling:
Expected ASM population: 20,000 Estimated ASM gold production: 0.4 t/a
