Haiti

Except of ILO-99, no more recent data available. Media articles can be found, according to which clandestine artisanal mining - which is illegal - continues. → 4,500
Min/max: no data. Uncertainty high. → +/-2,000?
Female participation: no data. Assuming 10% as best guess working hypothesis. → 500?
Gold: gold exists in Haiti. Unknown if mined by ASM, but probably. Perhaps also other minerals for domestic use?. Guess: 500?

1999: > 4,500

(ILO-99): Employment: > 4,500
Number of mines: > 50
Illegal mines: +/- 80%
