+==== ASM Population: 1,000,000 ====
+Total Population: Often quoted in Zimbabwean news articles is the estimation of 500,000 - 1,500,000 (as in ZWE-2018a). This appears to be more realistic than partly outdated publications. -> 1,000,000\\
+Min/Max: The above estimation has a broad range. This might be partly attributed to uncertainty, but also to the population entering and exiting ASM according to economic constraints. -> 0.5 - 1.5 million\\
+Female participation: Perhaps somewhere between the 1/3 (MMSD-03) and the 11% (ZWE-2015a) -> 25% i.e. 250,000\\
+Gold: Probably (conservative estimate) at the lower range of Total -> 600,000
