You ask whether I am just throwing out issues to increase concerns among less educated investors?

Come off it! The state of the pit is critical for EPM's desire to start excavating.

Surely we should be looking for evidence that NAMA is maintaining the pit.

Take a look at https://www.namaltd.co.uk/projects-2/

NAMA says nothing about maintaining the pit. In 2012 it mentions a joint exploitation of the pit with Rimbal.Pty Ltd.

Evidently the ambitious plan did not go ahead, for some reason. It is Rimbal Pty Ltd that is now selling the pit to EPM - as reported to ASX on 14 January 2021.
