Date: Jul 05, 2012

Geologist: D Guidon

Notes: Property visited July 5 2012 with C. Beaudoin. No outcrop noted in area of MDI32D05SE00020 and road no longer passes this MDI point. Sample collected about 250 m to the west of the point as located, although I believe the accuracy of the point location may be several 100 of meters.
