Without access to port and other common infrastructure it would be impossible for financiers to lend ARH the required monies to construct the mine and processing plants. It would be a stranded deposit.
The fact that CITIC has actually pressed the button on the development of these facilities is extraordinarily important to ARH and its ability to raise the required loan/equity mix.
The fact that MCC is the selected constructor of these facilities only strengthens the validity and intent of the MOU MCC has with ARH.
This announcement removes the single major hurdle to ARH getting the required finance imho.
