==== ASM Population: 250,000 ====
332 MUSD diamond production from registered/licensed artisanal miners in 2013 (AMDC-17) at a GNI per capita of 3,370 suggests 100,000 formal miners; including informal miners probably 200,000 in diamond. Additionally, UBC-14 calculated more than 200,000 gold miners, but this seems quite high. -> Total of **250,000** seems a realistic estimation. \\
Min/max: 200,000 as minimum and 300,000 as maximum appear realistic \\
Female participation: No data but as commonly lower in diamond ASM than in ASGM, perhaps 15% ? -> **40,000** \\
ASGM: as above, estimated as **50,000**

==== Data sources for estimation ====

===2018: 150,000 ===
(IGF-18): Table 3
  Directly working in ASM: 150,000
  Estimated number of dependants: 900,000
  Main Minerals: Diamonds
Data inherited from HIL-16

===2017: 150,000 ===
(AMDC-17): 
  In Angola, although mining is also carried out by large and medium scale companies, Artisanal and Small Scale Mining (ASM) is more significant. The ASM produce diamond, gold and dimension stones.
  The Government had granted mining passes or permits to 594 artisanal miners by end of 2013. The country’s registered/licensed artisanal miners produced about 935 000 carats in 2013. The artisanal output raked in $332 million and attracted an average price of $355 per carat.

  
===2016: 150,000 ===
(HIL-16): 
  Directly working in ASM: 150,000
  Estimated number of dependants: 900,000
Quoting possibly outdated sources: //Data extracted from Dreschler (2001), Mutemeri and Petterson (2002), and UNECA (2011)//

===2014: 218,000 ===
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling: \\
  Expected ASM population: 218,000 
  Estimated ASM gold production: 2.5 t/a
