Hi everybody. Does anyone have coordinates where the fragments of the recent Canadian meteorite landed and were recovered? The article below says it's by the town of Lloydminster, Alberta, but I don't know exactly in which direction from the town. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

OTTAWA, Nov. 28-- Canadian scientists said Friday they have found fragments from the 10-ton space rock that fell in western Canada last week.
The bright, colorful rock caused a late-night light show as it fell near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. Thousands of local residents witnessed the scene and videos and cameras recorded it.
Planetary scientist Alan Hildebrand and graduate student Ellen Milley from University of Alberta said they found meteorite fragments in a rural area near the border town of Lloydminster, Alberta, late Thursday.
They are currently searching the area to collect additional fragments, which they believe are strewn across a 20-square-kilometer area.
They reportedly found the 10 fragments on a frozen pond, the biggest being a fist-sized meteorite. They believe there may be thousands of fragments on the ground.
