Highwall mining (HWM) technology is an efficient method for exploiting residual coal resources in Chinese open-pit coal mines. However, on-site personnel and equipment can be damaged by the instability of the highwall mining residual coal pillars and subsidence of final end-walls. This paper considers the geological conditions of an open-pit mine in Shendong Coal Field (China) in order to prevent overlying rock fall accidents; the Mark-Bieniawski formula and the FLAC3D numerical simulation are used to analyse reasonable coal pillar widths outside and under the road, which were determined to be 1.7 m and 1.3 m, respectively. Using the EBH132 cantilever excavator for remote control mining, the field experiment shows that the recovery ratio of highwall residual coal resources was over 67%; hence, safety, efficiency and high recovery ratio of highwall mining were achieved for the residual coal resources of an open-pit mine.
