Deep down, we care about the home we all share: The Earth.
The People and Purpose of Deep GEO.
DeepGEO BEGINNINGS
DeepGEO was born in the beautiful rugged and rolling hills of Northern Canada. Company founder Link Murray was invited to join an eclectic group of environmentally-conscious fishermen, farmers, preachers, activists and geologists. They began brainstorming how to empower indigenous people to improve their lives. Despite an abundance of natural resources, relatively few benefits were realized by the local communities.
What was needed is a source of income that could flow directly to the region and people that live there. What if someone could use the solid stable granite below the surface that had remained undisturbed for thousands of years? Could they develop a deep geological repository in this granite for the safe storage of nuclear waste? The repository would be a tremendous asset to the world’s clean energy economy, which could generate significant funds that could stimulate enormous economic and social change locally. Planning began to create the world’s first multinational repository, and DeepGEO was incorporated.
“The spirit of DeepGEO people is caring, Earth-conscious, community-minded and light-hearted. We enjoy our work.”

Community Commitment
DeepGEO is committed to our community partners. That is why the company will create an Investment Trust Fund to directly benefit the communities surrounding our Deep Geological Repositories.
Global Expansion
From our humble beginnings in Labrador, Canada we have now expanded our team to include international scientists, engineering partners and nuclear industry leaders. We have also established community based programs with two African countries.
FIVE GOALS OF DeepGEO
DeepGEO will be a world leader in the safe transportation and storage of nuclear waste for any country that needs this service. Here are five things we focus on to help us make a difference.
BE SAFE FOR THE LONG RUN.
Because spent nuclear fuel can remain active for 100,000 years, our corporate plans and procedures are created for centuries, not decades. We’re attentive to details but always see the big picture.
REWARD OUR PARTNERS.
An investment trust fund will be established to create social, economic, and environmental benefits for the community. In addition, every community that hosts a nuclear storage site will have access to a charitable giving fund for purposes of community wellness.
GENERATE RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Based on our business plan and the scale involved with our underground nuclear storage solutions, we expect to provide a substantial return to our investors.
TAKE CARE OF THE EARTH.
Removing nuclear waste from the surface and storing it deep underground is our contribution to a clean energy future making our planet safer, cleaner and greener.
