Mining. Highwall mining is a hybrid of surface and underground mining technologies that is used to recover coal that is otherwise uneconomical due to: Increasing open – cut strip ratios; Reaching pit limits with available coal in the barrier pillars; Protected surface features (e.g. rivers, streams, archaeology)
