CORNER                   LONGITUDE            LATITUDE

                  1                118º 00’ 00”               10º 52’ 00”

                  2                117º 00’ 00”               08º 55’ 00”

                  3                112º 54’ 00”               08º 55’ 00”

                  4                112º 54’ 00”               09º 50’ 00”
