Kamoya South Mine (Kamoya Sud Mine; Kamoya II Mine), Kamoya, Kambove, Central area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre)

A benched open cut "secret" mine. The mine owners employed a strict security force to enforce a "no specimen policy" on the miners. All specimens during mine operation were obtained at the mill, hence, the locality was attributed to several erroneous mine localities.

Located 2 km west of Kambove.
