GOE-PHAB is involved in the new, international initiative titled GOE-DEEP (Gabon and Oxygenation of Earth – Drilling Early Earth Project), which started drilling in June 2025 (GOE-DEEP, Gabon).
This new multinational, multidisciplinary initiative GOE-DEEP aims to significantly expand understanding of Paleoproterozoic Earth history by obtaining 11 fresh drill cores from the Franceville Basin of Gabon, likely the best-preserved archive of Paleoproterozoic sedimentary rocks globally.
The GOE-DEEP project had its official opening at the Masuku University with local officials and media present.
