Trade-gap indicator: Mali's gold carries a SWISSAID modeled undeclared-ASM-production estimate of 30–57 t/yr (a range, not a measured gap); Mali is also a rerouting destination for regional gold. Attributed third-party estimate, not an Afrimintel loss figure. Matrix & method → Separate context; not a composite input.
Fraser IAI 2025 (Annual Survey of Mining Companies, released 26 Feb 2026; 68 jurisdictions, 14 in Africa; survey conducted Aug–Nov 2025). All 14 Africa-covered jurisdictions are now PDF-Sourced from Table 1 (back-check 2026-06-24); ∗-marked scores had 5–9 responses (lower confidence). Côte d'Ivoire is Fraser-Sourced but its composite is withheld pending TI CPI + RGI ingestion.

Attribution requires either the country stated in the asset record name, or an externally Sourced enrichment record carrying a named primary source plus independent corroboration (no inference — text-inference attribution was built, tested, and withdrawn pre-deploy after verification caught false positives; see the audit log). 47 distinct platform assets remain Absent pending continuation of the record-enrichment pass (duplicate-flagged records excluded from this count as of v2.22.0). Full asset layer on the platform.
