Item 8.01     Other Events

On February 23, 2010, Nord Resources Corporation ("Nord" or the "Company") issued a news release announcing that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has determined to defer its de-listing decision until no later than March 25, 2010.

As previously announced, Nord received an exemption from certain shareholder approval requirements under the rules of the TSX in connection with Nord's US$12 million private placement completed in November 2009, on the basis of financial hardship. Reliance on this exemption automatically triggered a TSX de-listing review to confirm that Nord continues to meet the TSX listing requirements. The Company believes that it will be in compliance at that time.
