Estimate: ASM is confirmed to be ongoing by approximately 650 small-scale placer miners in the Yukon territory since the Klondike gold rush in the 19th century. Rounded to full 100's: → 700.
Max/min: According to the report of C.Johnson et.al, the ASM population in the Yukon territory is quite stable. This would suggest a range between 600 and 700. However, given that the original data source is from 2015, the rise of the gold price over the past decade, and the possibilty that placer mining might also exist in other territories, the range is estimated as → between 600 and 1,000.
Female participation: No data found. But as Yukon placer mining is described as livelihood driven, female participation is likely. Guess: → 200.
Gold: All data are for ASGM. → 700
