The mines within the Goose Creek Subdistrict are vein type and bedding replacement type that are aligned along the northeast-trending Goose Creek Fault Zone (Figure 25). The fault zone apparently comes together to the north and is a northwest boundary for the Rock Creek Graben. The mines in the Goose Creek Subdistrict are sometimes considered part of the Harris Creek Subdistrict.
