SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Nord Resources Corporation (“Nord”) has entered into letter agreements dated for reference November 2, 2006, pursuant to which each of the following executive officers (each, an “Executive”) of Nord will be entitled to receive a cash bonus payment of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000):

In light of Nord’s current cash situation, each bonus has been awarded on terms whereby it will be accrued and will be payable when Nord has sufficient funds to make the payment, as shall be determined in the sole discretion of Nord’s Board of Directors. Each Executive has agreed to indemnify, defend and save harmless Nord, any successor corporation to Nord, and their respective officers and directors, against liability for any payroll, income or other taxes that Nord might otherwise be required to withhold, remit or pay in respect of such bonus payments in excess of the taxes that Nord withholds based on its good faith judgment of the amount that is required to be withheld and excluding taxes that are Nord’s responsibility to pay without withholding (i.e., the employer’s portion of employment taxes).

The bonuses were authorized by the Board of Directors at a directors’ meeting held on October 16, 2006 in recognition of the key role and significant efforts made by each Executive in return for little or no cash remuneration over the course of the past year to:

• bring the Nord back into compliance with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after a lapse in reporting of approximately six years;

• address and settle a myriad of outstanding issues with various creditors, litigants, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and other third parties;

• secure bridge financing for Nord, thereby preserving the assets for the benefit of Nord’s stockholders; and

• generally position Nord to seek additional financing or as an attractive takeover target.
