ASM Population: 7,000
UBC-14 data is only statistically calculated. But more recent news articles confirm widespread “gold digging”.
Due to lack of other data, the estimation of 7,000 remains the best available guess.
Female participation: Being an islamic country, participation of women is unlikely: 0.
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: 7,000 Estimated ASM gold production: 0.27 - 0.3 t/a
