At that depth surely carbon monoxide or methane must be a problem? flb?

yes, even shallow ground can be dangerous from carbon dioxide.
you have to ventilate by connecting 2 shafts or use a blower and a tube

Being an ex miner, for ventilation you need a surface fan and tube/ airbags going down then the toxic air will be pushed to the surface.

Re: Two gem-miners killed when their homemade mine collapsed
when we used to mine south of Pailin in the late 80's, we dug holes like these but most were never deeper than 5 meters>
same goes for many small miners in Mogok in Myanmar nowadays.

Kratie mine collapses
6 September 2017
Three miners are still missing following the collapse of a gold mine shaft in Kratie province last Thursday, the latest in a recent spate of mine collapses in Cambodia.
The collapse was the third such incident in the country in the past two weeks and the second in Kratie.
Bun Chheum, Sambor district police chief, said the men were prospectors inspecting the mine. They had a tentative deal to mine the site in exchange for paying the owner, Da Lin, a 50 percent fee of their findings.
The three missing are Chin Theara, 25; Noun Chanra, 50; and Reach Sakea, 21.
Chheum said the 30-metre shaft likely collapsed into another nearby mine.
“The three asked to go down to check if there was gold . . . we don’t know whether they died or not because we could not find them,” Chheum said, adding that the families are assuming the worst and preparing funeral ceremonies...
