France - French Guyana
ASM Population: 7,000
UBC-14 data is only statistically calculated but due to lack of other data, the estimation of 7,000 remains the best available guess.
Min/max: Due to lack of primary field data +/- 2,000 appears reasonable
Female participation: With rather garimpo-type mining, participation of women is likely low: 1,000.
Gold: All data are for ASGM.
Data sources for estimation
2014: 7,000
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling:
Expected ASM population: 20,000 - 7,000 Estimated ASM gold production: 3.6 t/a
1999: 7,500
(ILO-99): Employment: 5,000 - 10,000
Number of mines: n/a
Illegal mines:n/a
