PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Due to having insufficient funds for payments to, among others, the independent registered public accounting firm that reviews the quarterly consolidated financial statements of Nord Resources Corporation (the "Company"), the Company is currently unable to complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014. The Company is actively pursuing several possible financing alternatives as a means to increase the Company's available cash to fund operational needs. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any such financing transaction to pay such service providers. While no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in consummating any financing transactions, the Company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q subject to, and within 45 days following, receipt of any such funds.
