SECTION 8 - OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 18, 2008, Nord Resources Corporation ("Nord") issued a news release reporting on the results of a scoping study (the "Scoping Study") completed by Bateman Litwin, an international firm of mining and processing consultants, with respect to its Johnson Camp Copper Mine in Arizona. The news release indicated, among other things, that according to the Scoping Study, Nord can cost effectively increase its production from the Johnson Camp to an estimated rate of 40 millions pounds of copper per year from the current plan of 25 million pounds annually with an additional capital investment of less than US$20 million. In the Scoping Study, Bateman Litwin estimated that, if Nord decides to pursue the opportunity presented by the Scoping Study, the ramp-up to the increased production rate can take place within approximately 20 months from the start of the feasibility 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.
The Scoping Study was filed electronically with the Securities Commissions of British Columbia and Ontario on November 18, 2008, on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (commonly, known as "SEDAR"), and is publicly available on the Internet at www.sedar.com, under our company's profile.
