Brazil is estimated to generate US$150 million of free cashflow in its first year at full production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Take free cashflow from Monte Do Carmo (expected to be North of US$150 million per year), and fund the stock component of the Mount Sorcier Iron &amp; vanadium project in Quebec, which will then generate an estimated US$235 million\/yr of free cash flow starting in 2028.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d1d1cc;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#ebebe6;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">In five years, investors will own a company generating potentially US$380 million a year in free cashflow on a current market cap of only US$46 million. If the company traded up to only 1x free cashflow -equivalent to saying the free cashflow will end in only 1 year- investors would be looking at an 8x return on their investment.
