==== ASM Population: 230,000 ====
Rationale: As according to GEF-21 ASGM alone employs 200,000 miners, the best guess for the total is **230,000** (including tin, base metals, etc.)\\
Min/max: Country appears to be well assessed, min/max is therefore set to approx. 5% i.e. **+/- 10,000**.\\
Female participation: Approx. 30% are women, i.e. approx **75,000**.\\
Gold is **200,000** according to GEF-21
