SECTION 8 - OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 23, 2008, Nord Resources Corporation ("Nord") issued a news release reporting on the progress of the reactivation of its Johnson Camp Copper Mine in Arizona. The news release indicated, among other things, that, given the issuance by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) of the air-quality permit required to proceed with construction at the Johnson Camp Mine, Nord is on schedule to commence mining new copper ore in the first quarter of 2009, and on track to ramp up to the currently planned full production rate of 25 million pounds per year by spring 2009. The news release also confirmed that Bateman Engineering Inc., which was engaged by Nord as a consultant in May 2008 to determine if Nord can increase the Johnson Camp Mine's planned annual production beyond 25 million pounds of copper per year, has not yet finalized its study. Nord also announced that it plans to begin a new program of exploratory drilling on the Johnson Camp property in 2009, as its cash flow and earnings improve, with the goal of increasing the current level of proven and probable reserves.
