====== Papua New Guinea ======

==== ASM Population:75,000 ====
Total: Most recent data (IGF-18) is plausible within the time series, but probably rather at the lower side. -> **75,000** \\
Min/max: Taking IIED-13 and UBC-14 into account: **60,000 - 110,000** \\
Female participation: no data. Working hypothesis: less than 10% -> **5,000** \\
Gold: All data are for ASGM -> **75,000** \\
