The invention belongs to the technical field of application of coal mining equipment and coal mining methods, and particularly relates to an end slope mining process by using an open-air end slope orecontinuous miner. The end slope mining process comprises the following steps that 101, a mining face is arranged; 102, an equipment mounting and preparation area is arranged; 103, equipment is arranged and mounted; 104, a ventilation system is arranged; and 105, mining is conducted by using the continuous miner. The end slope mining process adopts continuous miner complete set mining equipment, the requirement of mechanized mining of end slope ore is met, the mechanization level of mining of the end slope ore is improved, the production efficiency is greatly improved, the labor intensity of workers is reduced, the stripping volume of rock and soil is reduced, and damage and disturbance to the environment is reduced.
