In slope and shaft mines, miners removed coal in a four-step process undercutting, drilling, blasting, and loading. First, miners used picks to carve a 3- to 4-foot wedge into the lower part of the face of the coal seam, usually on their knees or lying on their sides.

The paper aims to identify a reasonable method for mining ultra-thick coal seams in an end-slope in surface mine. With a case study of Heidaigou surface coal mine (HSCM), the paper conducted a comparative research on three mining methods, namely Underground Mining Method (UMM), Highwall Mining System (HMS) and Local Steep Slope Mining Method (LSSMM).

Slope mining is a method of accessing valuable geological material, such as coal or ore.A sloping access shaft travels downwards towards desired material. Slope mines differ from shaft and drift mines, which access resources by tunneling straight down or horizontally, respectively.In slope mining, the primary access to the mine is on an incline.
