Feb 6 (Reuters) - Canadian miner Barrick Gold (GOLD) saw its proven and probable gold mineral reserves rise by 23% to 17.4 million ounces before 2024 depletion, largely due to its Balochistan, Pakistan-based Reko Diq copper-gold project, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

After the completion of its feasibility study at Reko Diq, 13 million ounces of gold were added to its probable reserves on an attributable basis.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
