Other/historical names associated with this locality:

Mount Fitton Mine; 23M; Good Luck Mine

A small copper, silver, lead and zinc deposit in the northern Flinders Ranges noted for a range of secondary minerals.

Located near Mount Fitton homestead, this was part of the Mount Fitton Mines complex, which included Mount Fitton South and Mount Fitton Consolidated.
Although there was much activity at this mine over the years, the complex nature of the ore made it an un-economical venture.

Most commonly called the Billy Springs Mine, this locality had four recorded names as listed on the Mines Summary Cards.

Mount Fitton Mine – 1890
23M – 1894
Billy Springs – 1908
Good Luck Mine – 1914
Most mining after this point, went under the name Billy Springs Mine.
