LEGAL ACTION COMMENCED AGAINST DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF NORD RESOURCES
CORPORATION

MIL Investments, S.A. ("MIL"), a significant shareholder of Nord Resources
Corporation (NYSE:NORD), yesterday commenced action in Dallas, Texas, on behalf
of Nord, against Nord Pacific Limited, W. Pierce Carson, Edgar F. Cruft,
Terrence H. Lang and Hicor Corporation (the "Defendants").  Nord is the
controlling shareholder of Nord Pacific Limited ("Nord Pacific"), a publicly
traded company listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE:NPF).  Messrs. Carson,
Cruft and Lang are each directors and officers of both Nord and Nord Pacific.

The lawsuit is a derivative action, brought on behalf of Nord against its
directors and officers, and alleges that the defendants unlawfully directed
money from Nord to fund Nord Pacific at a time when those funds were desperately
needed by Nord.  These activities are alleged to constitute conspiracy,
negligence and a breach of the fiduciary duty of the named Nord directors and
officers.

The action claims ordinary and punitive damages against the Defendants totaling
more than US$50 million.  A jury trial has been requested.

Separately, in filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
this week, MIL has disclosed that it has made recent market purchases of Nord
shares.  These purchases were made for investment purposes and reflect MIL's
belief in the underlying value of Nord's 50% interest in the Sierra Rutile
Limited joint venture.  These purchases and the derivative action underscore
MIL's determination to protect both its investment and the investments of the
other Nord shareholders in the face of the actions taken by Nord's present
management.

                                                                     Page 5 of 5
