-re. COL-2015a: The 314,000 seems to be on the low side, while the 2,000,000 might be exagerated. Reality might be somewhere in between. UBC-14 calculated 268,000-418,000 for gold, whereby ASGM has recently increased significantly along the gold price. As ASM also mines gemstones, coal and other minerals, an estimated total of **600,000** is believed to be realistic. \\+re.

 Min/Max: 500,000 seems to be a realistic minimum.
