A. von Kienlin, X. Zhang, A. Rau, V. Savchenko, E. Bozzo, and C.
Ferrigno, on behalf of the INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, report:

The long-duration, intense GRB 120911B has been observed by INTEGRAL 
(SPI-ACS), AGILE (MCAL), Konus-Wind, and Mars Odyssey (HEND), so far, at 
about 23175 s UT (06:26:15).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:
  ---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
   172.146 (11h 28m 35s) -37.696 (-37d 41' 46")
  Corners:
   172.616 (11h 30m 28s) -38.705 (-38d 42' 20")
   172.297 (11h 29m 11s) -38.543 (-38d 32' 34")
   171.709 (11h 26m 50s) -36.675 (-36d 40' 31")
   172.013 (11h 28m 03s) -36.848 (-36d 50' 53")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 0.380 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 2.15 deg.

This box can be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
