Honduras

Total: GEF-21 is current and the only available data → ~3,000
Min/max: As value for [gold produced / ASGM miners = 1800/3000=0.6 kg/miner per year ~ >20.000 USD/a] in GEF-21 is very high (approx 10 * GNI), possible maximum is assumed three times the estimated number of miners. → 3,000 - 9,000
Female participation: no data. Assuming default of 1,000?
Gold: All data are for ASGM.

2021: 3,000 ASGM

(GEF-21):

People employed in ASGM: 3,000
Gold produced (kg/year): 1,800
Mercury released (kg/year): 9,500

2018: 1,000 - 2,000

IGF-18: 1,000
