==== ASM Population: 850,000 ====
Although based on statistic modelling, data from UBC-14 appear the most relistic. Rounded to closest 50,000. -> **850,000**\\
As other data differ widely, uncertainty is high and variation is estimated high at 25% (**+/- 200,000**)\\
Female participation: Perhaps less direct participation in garimpos, but regular in gemstones. Guess 15%: **130,000** (?)  \\
Gold: Best guess is that 2/3 are gold miners: **600,000**. The rest might be gemstone miners (especially in Minas Gerais!) and diamond\\
