- Sankamap Metals Inc. is a Canadian junior mineral exploration and development company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, evaluation, and advancing of high-grade precious and base metal properties in the South Pacific and North America. The company's principal business activities and operational services encompass mineral asset identification and tenure acquisition; subsurface diamond core drilling and exploratory boring; geochemical soil, rock, and silt sampling; geophysical mapping and lithocap anomaly modeling; assaying and petrographic mineral analysis; and project feasibility evaluation targeting copper, gold, and silver resources for global smelting, refining, and industrial commodity end markets. The company's core exploration portfolio is anchored by its 100-percent-owned Oceania Project located in the Solomon Islands, which comprises the 4,500-hectare Kuma copper-gold porphyry and epithermal property on Guadalcanal Island and the 24,000-hectare Fauro epithermal gold-silver property situated in the Shortland Islands, Western Province. In addition, the company maintains exploration rights over the Boer gold property, comprising multiple contiguous mineral claims in British Columbia, Canada. Founded and incorporated in 2022, Sankamap Metals Inc. is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, operates through its wholly owned subsidiary Sankamap Exploration Inc., and is aligned with the Metals Group mining collaboration platform. In recent corporate developments, the company underwent a comprehensive corporate rebranding and restructuring, formally changing its name from Maclaren Minerals Ltd. to Sankamap Metals Inc. in March 2025 and updating its Canadian Securities Exchange ticker symbol to SCU. This transition followed the February 2025 acquisition of a 100-percent interest in Sankamap Exploration Inc., which consolidated ownership of the Oceania Project. In operational milestones, the company initiated an inaugural 2,000 to 3,000-meter diamond drilling program at the Kuma property to test deep-seated porphyry and epithermal copper-gold targets, secured formal two-year prospecting licence renewals across both Kuma and Fauro from the Solomon Islands Ministry of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification in mid-2026, and closed multi-million-dollar non-brokered private placement financings to fund active exploration and property advancement campaigns.
