GECAMINES SA's activities in the Southeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo are organized into three Groups.
- The South Group, including the mining region surrounding the city of Lubumbashi and the city of Kipushi.
- The Center Group surrounding the city of Likasi and the cities of Kambove and Kakanda.
- The West Group surrounding the city of Kolwezi and the locality of Luena.
