==== ASM Population: 1,500,000 ====
Total: ASM population of 1.5 million (upper range of estimates) appears reasonable when including development minerals. -> **1,500,000**\\
Min/Max: Lower range estimates are 1 million. Upper might exceed the 1.5 million. -> **1,000,000 - 1,700,000**\\
Female Participation: 20-30% often mentioned. 25% of 1.5 million =~ **375,000**\\
Gold: Rather in the range of lower estimate (as also UBC-14) -> **1,000,000**\\
