The geology of the Planet area is ancient, estimated to be Precambrian, the bedrock being made up mostly of pinkish gneiss and absorbed limestone and amphibolite, which contained hematite-copper.

Trans-Hudson orogeny

crustal thickening occurred that was associated with accretion of an intra-oceanic arc terrane and subsequent regional metamorphic activity characterized by the growth of retrograde, upper amphibolite-facies assemblages that define a clockwise, decompressive P–T path (pressure-temperature) path.
