The Mann and Tomkinson Ras. are situated in the extreme north west of the state and approximately 400 miles WNW of Oodnadatta. The area includes portion of the native reserve. A rapid geological survey was carried out in late August 1953 when the writer accompanied a Native Affairs expedition to the area. No radioactive minerals were encountered although numerous pegmatite's were investigated. An interesting suite of igneous rocks varying from intermediate (diorites) to ultrabasic types (peridotites, dunites) were encountered in the Tomkinsons. The latter rocks are important since they are associated with nickel - chrome mineralisation in the area.
