Request of bedrock map of the following area in Zimbabwe (near Bul-7/6 stromatolite finding location)
Following is Google Map (satellite map is available also in this link) address to the requested area in Zimbabwe:

I'am interested to figure out locations of two mine dumps and one talus piles where this stromatolite salmpe was collected.
Question is which formation these three are mined:
Lower Greentone and Dolomites (age 2800 - about 3000 Ma?) OR
Upper Greenstone and Dolomites (about 2700 Ma).

I found this open question location more closely approximately (accuracy depends mainly how accurate these two maps are in these two below references):

OPEN QUESTION
(Please help me with more accurate bedrock map closely
let say 200 m radius of MY ORIGIN =(-19.716095, 28.799043)=
(19 degrees 42 minutes 57.9 seconds S, 28 degrees 47 minutes 56.6 seconds E) mentioned in my earlier posting):
This MINE DUMP seems to me be at fault ? and possible at side of
Lower limestone and banded ironstone BUT it could also be at side of
Upper limestone and banded ironstone. This fault is between both of
these two mentioned formations.
(-19.715963 , 28.798382) =
(19 degrees 42 minutes 57.5 seconds S, 28 degrees 47 minutes 54.2 seconds E)
These other locations MINE DUMP and TALUS PILES are clearly at side of
Lower limestone and banded ironstone.
