| Total: Apparently historic/statistic estimates, based on increasing initial estimates of ILO-99, do not take into account "illegal" (i.e. informal) miners. See AMDC-17! Sitting in-between of DRC, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, the AMDC-17 estimate is much more plausible -> **500,000** \\ | Total: Apparently historic/statistic estimates, based on increasing initial estimates of ILO-99, do not take into account "illegal" (i.e. informal) miners.

| Female participation: no data. Likely in the magnitude of neighboring countries (20-30%) -> **125,000** (?) \\ | Female participation: no data. Likely in the magnitude of neighboring countries (20-30%). In videos, a lot of women can be observed. -> **125,000** (?) \\ |
| Gold: no data. Acording to the Minamata Initial Assessment (https://www.mercuryconvention.org/sites/default/files/documents/minamata_initial_assessment/Zambia-MIA-2017.pdf) there are no emission from ASGM. Therefore insignificant ASGM can be assumed. -> **0** \\ | Gold: no quantitative data. Acording to the Minamata Initial Assessment (https://www.mercuryconvention.org/sites/default/files/documents/minamata_initial_assessment/Zambia-MIA-2017.pdf) there are no emission from ASGM. Video evidence (see below) however shows local communities engaged in ASGM. Possibly ASGM is not reported because of being considered "illegal" in this country with an important LSM sector. It appears reasonable to assume that at least 1% of the miners are ASGM miners -> **5,000** \\ |
