Thence, northwesterly along that bank to the foot of chute de la Chaudière located near Lac du Liset in the Canton de Chomedy;

Thence, easterly, a straight line along the foot of the fall and its extension to a point 200 m from the left bank of Rivière Ashuapmushuan;

Thence, northwesterly then southwesterly, a line parallel to the bank to its meeting point with the southwestern limit of the right-of-way of a power transmission line (735 kv), a point located in the Canton de Denault near the mouth of Rivière La Loche;

Thence, northwesterly, the said limit skirting the lakes met there to the northeast along a line parallel to and 200 m from their shore, to the intersection with a line parallel to and 200 m passing west of the right bank of Rivière Boisvert;

Thence, northeasterly, that parallel line to its meeting point with a line parallel to and 200 m from it located south of the right bank of Rivière aux Trembles, a point whose coordinates are:

5,400,210 m N and 346,830 m E;

Thence, easterly, northeasterly then southeasterly, that line parallel to the right bank of Rivière aux Trembles, to the east shore of Lac à la Truite, to the right bank of Rivière Pémonca to its meeting point with a straight line along the foot of the fall located on that river on lot 50 of Rang VI of the Canton de Dufferin;
