mining companies pulling off their hedges

I heard on television a CEO of a mining company say they are pulling off their hedges and going to go strickly cash sales

as metal prices are good now



How big of a short term impact will this have on the market?



Say a mining company had 50% of their future projected production hedged
whick could be a couple hundred contracts for every strike for a couple years


that short will become a long to close contract

open interest will drop but another buy order going through (as well as a seller no longer selling)
