This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") to the Schedule 13D filed on April 25,
1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on July 11, 1996 and as
further amended by Amendement No. 2 thereto filed on October 25, 1996 (the
"Schedule 13D") on behalf of MIL (Investments) S.A., a Luxembourg corporation
("MIL"), and Mr. Jean-Raymond Boulle, a British citizen with a residential
address at Seaside Plaza, Batiment C, 6 avenue des Ligures, MC-98000 Monaco
("Mr. J.R. Boulle"), relates to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
("Nord Common Stock"), of Nord Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Nord"), and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule
13D.

Item 1.           Security and Issuer

         This Amendment relates to 2,000,000 additional shares of Nord Common
Stock (the "Acquisition Shares") that MIL acquired on November 25, 1996
pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement") dated October 16, 1996 between Nord and MIL. The total number of
shares of Nord Common Stock beneficially owned by MIL is 6,000,000, consisting
of the Acquisition Shares, 3,160,000 shares of Nord Common Stock acquired by
MIL on April 15, 1996 pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement between
Nord and MIL dated April 15, 1996 (the "April 15 Agreement"), and 840,000
shares of Nord Common Stock acquired by MIL through conversion of the
Promissory Note on July 2, 1996 pursuant to the Agreement between Nord and MIL
dated April 15, 1996 related to the Promissory Note.

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         MIL purchased the Acquisition Shares for an aggregate purchase price
of $10,000,000 (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price was paid in cash from
MIL's working capital.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction

(d)      In connection with the execution and delivery of the Stock Purchase
         Agreement, on November 25, 1996, MIL and Nord entered into an
         Amendment No. 1 to the April 15 Agreement ("Amendment No. 1") which
         Amendment No. 1 reflects (i) the reduction of the Board of Directors
         of Nord from eight (8) to seven (7) members with MIL retaining the
         right to designate three (3) members as provided for in the April
         Agreements, and (ii) the obligation of MIL to vote all of the Nord
         Common Stock held by MIL for the nominees designated by the Board of
         Directors of Nord (excluding MIL's nominees) for the Board of
         Directors of Nord until after the annual meeting in the year 1999
         rather than the year 2000.

Item 5.           Securities of the Issuer

(a)      MIL is the beneficial and record owner of 6,000,000 shares of Common
         Stock (the "Nord Shares"), representing approximately 27.5% of the
         issued and outstanding shares of such Common Stock after giving effect
         to the issuance thereof.

         Except as disclosed in this Item 5(a), neither MIL, Mr. J. R. Boulle
         nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of MIL's executive officers
         and directors, beneficially owns any securities of Nord or has a right
         to acquire any securities of Nord.

(b)      MIL and Mr. J. R. Boulle may be deemed to hold shared power to direct
         the vote and to direct the disposition of the Nord Shares by virtue of
         Mr. J. R. Boulle's beneficial ownership of all of the issued and
         outstanding capital stock of MIL.

         Except as described in this Item 5(b), neither MIL, Mr. J. R. Boulle
         nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of MIL's executive officers
         or directors, presently has the power to vote or to direct the vote or
         to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the Nord Shares.

         or directors, has effected any transaction in securities of Nord
         during the past 60 days.

(d)      No person, other than MIL and Mr. J. R. Boulle, is known to have the
         right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends
         from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the securities covered
         by this Statement.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, MIL and Nord have entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale

         WHEREAS, in connection with the October Agreement, and in partial
consideration therefor, the Board of Directors of Nord resolved on October 23,

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein and other

                  of Directors of Nord shall be reduced from eight (8) to seven
                  (7) members, effective as of November 25, 1996. MIL shall
                  continue to have the right to designate three (3) individuals
                  to serve as Investor's Nominees to the Board of Directors."

<PAGE>

         2. The fifth full sentence of Section 3 of the April Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting the reference therein to "eight (8)" and by
replacing such reference with the phrase "seven (7)".


         3. The sixth full sentence of Section 3 of the April Agreement is
hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                  "Investor covenants and agrees to vote all of the NRC Shares
                  it owns and may own in the future for the nominees designated
                  by the Board of Directors (excluding the Investor's Nominees)
                  for the Board of Directors through and including the annual
                  meeting of stockholders to be held in the year 1999."

         4. Except as expressly provided herein, the April Agreement, amended
