Auger mining operations drill a series of parallel holes perpendicular to the highwall, leaving adequately sized pillars between holes to maintain the stability of the highwall and overlying surface area. The technique is also commonly used to recover coal beneath surface features which limit surface mining, such as rivers and roads.

Highwall mining method, which is considered as the semi surface-underground mining operation, was originally developed in the early 1940s in the US. It is suitable to excavate this remaining coal. Technically, there are two types of highwall mining: continuous and auger highwall mining with the rectangular and circular-hole opening respectively.
