In this paper, we define k-type spacelike slant helices lying on a lightlike surface in Minkowski space E31 according to their Darboux frame for k ? {0,1,2}. We obtain the necessary and the sufficient conditions for spacelike curves with non-null and null principal normal lying on lightlike surface to be the k-type spacelike slant helices in terms of their geodesic curvature, normal curvature and geodesic torsion. Additionally, we determine their axes and show that the Darboux frame of a spacelike curve lying on a lightlike surface coincides with its Bishop frame if and only if it has zero geodesic torsion. Finally, we give some examples.
