Nord Resources Corporation Announces

Thursday, February 15, 2007

SOURCE: Nord Resources Corporation

TUCSON, Arizona., February 15, 2007 - Mr. Ronald Hirsch, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nord Resources Corporation ("Nord") (Other OTC: NRDS.PK - News) announced today that Nord has delivered a Notice of Termination to Platinum Diversified Mining, Inc. (“Platinum”) respecting the proposed acquisition of Nord by Platinum in the all-cash merger transaction (the “Merger”).

In the Notice of Termination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Nord has made a demand of Platinum to pay Nord a termination fee of $2,000,000 no later than the close of business on Tuesday, February 20, 2007. In addition, Nord has reserved all of its rights to pursue Platinum for damages.

The delivery of the Notice of Termination follows a request by Platinum to re-negotiate the Merger consideration.

Commenting on the termination of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Hirsch said: “We are obviously disappointed by the conduct of Platinum, including most recently with respect to its attempt to re-negotiate the Merger consideration; however, with the Merger Agreement and Platinum behind us, we are now free to pursue other alternatives to maximize shareholder value.”
