==== ASM Population: 70,000 ====
Total: The opinion of well-informed SAM project staff member still seems the most reliable estimation. It is considered rather unlikely that the number of miners has decreased since. -> **70,000** \\
Min/max: Taking DELVE-19 as minimum. Considering additional 10,000 miners in other commodities than gold, such as development minerals -> **60,000 - 80,000** \\
Female participation: 24% as per DELVE-19 -> **17,000** \\
Gold: Given the high production of ASM gold (12.7 tons in 2017), rather in the range of at least **60,000** \\
