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

On February 21, 2001 the registrant filed for a petition for reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code 11 U.S.C. Section 101, et seq. as case number 11-01-11160MA in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico. On April 23, 2001 the United States Bankruptcy Court dismissed the proceeding pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 1112(b)(1), before the approval of Independent Auditors for the registrant.

The cash assets under the registrant are under the supervision of a Trustee and are unavailable until the resolution of outstanding legal issues. On May 21, 2001, the registrant filed suit against the Trustee in U.S. District Court, in the Southern District of Ohio for release of these assets. Until these issues are resolved, Nord Resources will be financially unable to meet the filing requirements for the 10-Q.
