NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Nord Resources Reports 2008 Third Quarter

• Quarter is highlighted by commencement of construction program to meet schedule for producing new copper ore early in 2009
• Construction program is on track and plans are unaffected by recent decline in copper price
• Company believes that reactivation program remains fully funded
• Loss for the quarter reflects several one-time or unusual expense items

TUCSON, AZ, November 14, 2008 - Nord Resources Corporation (TSX: NRD / OTC BB: NRDS.OB), which is reactivating copper mining at the Johnson Camp Mine in Arizona, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and all currency amounts are in U.S. dollars.

"The highlight of our 2008 third quarter was that in mid-August we received from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality the air quality permit that we needed to proceed with the construction for the reactivation of the Johnson Camp Mine," said John Perry, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Since receiving the air quality permit, we have been moving full speed ahead with our construction program and are pleased with the progress to date. Immediately upon receiving our air quality permit, we commenced the installation and electrical work on our crushing, conveying and agglomeration system. We are on track to begin mining new ore in the 2009 first quarter, ramping up to our target rate of 25 million pounds of copper per year by next spring," Mr. Perry said.

Nord Resources recently posted on its website a new gallery of photos showing the construction progress taking place at the Johnson Camp Mine.

Third-Quarter and Nine-Month Results

Revenues for the 2008 third quarter and nine months were $2.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively. There were no revenues in the corresponding periods in 2007 when the Johnson Camp Mine was on a care and maintenance program. The company commenced commercial copper production from previously mined ore on February 1, 2008. The revenues were generated by sales of 836,488 pounds of copper cathode in the quarter and 2,094,591 pounds for first nine months of the year. Copper sales in the third quarter were level with 2008 second quarter when Nord sold 836,198 pounds. The company realized an additional $209,907 (credited to development costs) from the sale of 58,723 pounds of copper cathodes produced during the first quarter of 2008, prior to the commencement of commercial production.

The cost of sales for the 2008 third quarter was $3.2 million. Sulfuric acid is Nord's primary expense associated with its residual leaching of copper and this accounted for about $1.4 million of the cost of sales. This amount reflects higher than normal sulfuric acid consumption during the period due to a test undertaken by the company to see if an increase in the sulfuric acid application rate would optimize copper production from residual leaching. The test did not result in an economical corresponding increase in copper production, and the company has reduced the acid application rate to prior levels.

In 2008, demand for sulfuric acid resulted in a marked increase in the purchase cost, rising from a South U.S. price of $120 per ton in December 2007 to $280 per ton in September 2008, according to published industry information. Sources have reported that the price of sulfuric acid has recently declined significantly, which the company believes is the result of the current weakness in commodities prices and the overall weakness of the economy. The company believes that sulfuric acid prices are likely to remain at or lower than the current level in the foreseeable future, and that this will favorably affect the Company's cost of sales in subsequent quarters.

The 2008 third quarter cost of sales also includes a one-time charge of approximately $0.2 million for consulting work and remediation of existing facilities undertaken to improve operating efficiencies and additional cost for labor and supplies in anticipation of the commencement of mining in early 2009. The company also recorded a non-cash write-down of $0.2 million to reduce the carrying value of copper inventories to net realizable value in view of the decline in copper prices.

For the period from the commencement of commercial copper production on February 1, 2008 through the end of the third quarter, the company's cost of sales amounted to $6.2 million. Operating costs incurred prior to the commencement of commercial copper production were capitalized as mine development costs, net of the realized value of the copper produced during that period. Factors affecting the cost of sales for the nine-month period were those cited for the third quarter.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $1.0 million for the 2008 third quarter, compared with $1.6 million a year earlier. The 2007 third quarter included $0.3 million in expenses for drilling at another property, $0.3 million for legal, accounting and consulting fees for the registration of special warrants, and $0.2 million in labor costs primarily resulting from bonuses earned and stock options issued in connection with the completion of financings. G&A expenses for the nine-month2008 period amounted to $3.0 million, compared with $4.0 million in the first nine months of 2007. The G&A in the 2007 period included $0.6 million of drilling expenses at another property. The decrease in year-to-year G&A expenses was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in costs for the listing of the company's shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange in January 2008, and the related registration of certain shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as am ended.

For the 2008 third quarter, the company incurred a loss from operations of $1.7 million, compared with a loss in the 2007 third quarter of $1.6 million. The 2008 loss is primarily attributable to an unusually high level of operating costs as the result of increased sulfuric acid expenses, the one-time consulting and remediation expenses incurred, and the non-cash write-down of the carrying value of copper inventories. For the first nine months of 2008, the company's loss from operations was $2.2 million, compared with a loss of $4.1 million in the corresponding 2007 period.

Other income for the 2008 third quarter of $0.1 million consisted mainly of royalties earned from the sale of decorative rock, recorded as miscellaneous income, and more than offset interest expense. Nord is required to have cash flow hedge contracts under a Copper Price Protection Program that is part of its Credit Agreement with Nedbank Limited. In the 2008 third quarter, Nord reclassified cash flow hedge contracts representing approximately 242 metric tons of copper to fair value hedges. This was necessary because the company's forecasted production of copper in the 2009 first quarter no longer matches the hedged position. Miscellaneous income for the 2008 third quarter includes the change to the fair value of these contracts of $127,558.

For the 2007 third quarter, other income was $2.6 million, including a $2.4 million legal settlement. For the 2008 nine-month period, other income amounted to $0.1 million, compared with $3.6 million in the corresponding period of the prior year.

For the 2008 third quarter, Nord recorded a net loss of $1.6 million (loss of $0.02 per basic and diluted share), compared with net income of $1.0 million ($0.03 per basic and diluted share) in the corresponding 2007 period, which consisted mainly of the legal settlement received. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding (basic and diluted) was 68,471,774 in the 2008 third quarter, compared with 35,344,652 shares (40,617,503 on a diluted basis) in the corresponding 2007 period. For the first nine months of 2008, the company's net loss was $2.2 million (a loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted share), compared with a net loss in the corresponding 2007 period of $0.5 million ($0.01 per basic and diluted share).

As at September 30, 2008, the company had drawn down $17 million of the $25 million secured term loan credit facility arranged in June 2007 with Nedbank Limited. On November 7, 2008, the company drew down the remaining $8 million available under the facility. Substantially all of the funds drawn down under the facility have been or will be used to finance the construction, start-up and operation of mining and metal operations at the Johnson Camp Mine. During the 2008 third quarter, Nedbank released $3 million of funds to the company that previously had been restricted under the Credit Agreement. Under the agreement, the company will be required to maintain a reserve balance only when cash flow from operations is enough to fund this balance.

The company continues to estimate the capital cost to reactivate the Johnson Camp Mine at approximately $34 million, of which Nord has spent about $27.1 million as of September 30, 2008. Based on its current assessments, outlook, and forecasts, Nord believes that it has access to sufficient funds to meet its estimated capital requirements for the reactivation plan of the Johnson Camp Mine.
