• “Red Rock Mining Company provides funding to the armed groups behind the Sudanese conflict, most prominently to the SAF. Red Rock Mining Company has a 99 % shareholding in Advanced Mining Works, which is part of the multi-sectoral network of corporations and shareholdings headed by the parent company GIAD.”

  Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1480, Annex, B.8↗18 Jul 2025verified substance wording differs

  Correction: finance.json #4 and corporate.json #16 put in quotation marks "a source of financing for the armed groups at the origin of the Sudanese conflict, in particular the SAF". That sentence is not in the English Official Journal (it reads like a back-translation). Replace with the OJ sentence quoted here. The concession is "near al Damazin", not "Ed Damazin", in the OJ.
