         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998


A.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NORD PACIFIC LIMITED (the "Company")

In  the  opinion  of  management, these  unaudited  interim  financial
statements  reflect all adjustments of a normal and  recurring  nature
which  are  necessary  to  present fairly the financial  position  and
results  of operations for the interim periods presented.  The results
shown for the second quarter of 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Certain  information  and footnote disclosures  normally  included  in
financial  statements prepared in accordance with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles have been omitted.  It is suggested that  these
financial  statements  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  financial
statements  and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual  Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

In  June  1998, the Company's shareholders approved the discontinuance
of  the  Company  from Bermuda and approved its continuance  into  the
Province of New Brunswick, Canada, effective September 30, 1998.  As a
Canadian  Company,  the Company is required to  report  its  financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in  Canada.  These principles differ in certain respects from those in
the United States as described in Note D.

Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  in  the  1998  financial
statements  to  conform to the classification  used  in  1999.   These
reclassifications  had  no  effect  on  results   of   operations   or
shareholders' equity as previously reported.


B.  GIRILAMBONE

The Company is a 40% joint venturer in the Girilambone Copper Property
and  a  50%   joint venturer in the Girilambone North Copper  Property
(collectively "Girilambone") in Australia.  All costs incurred  during
mine  development have been capitalized and are being amortized  using
the units of production method over the estimated reserves.  Following
is summarized combined balance sheet information for Girilambone:

C.  NORD RESOURCES CORPORATION

Nord  Resources Corporation ("Resources") owns approximately 28.5%  of
the  outstanding common stock of the Company.  In January 1998,  under
the term of a cost sharing agreement, the Company began sharing office
space, administrative personnel and expenses with Resources on a 50/50
basis


D. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CANADIAN AND U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
   PRINCIPLES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with  accounting  principles generally accepted in  Canada  ("Canadian
GAAP"),  which  differ in certain respects from those  principles  and
practices  that  the Company would have followed had its  consolidated
financial  statements  been  prepared in  accordance  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").

Canadian accounting principles provide for the deferral of exploration
expenditures until such time as the property is put into production or
the  property is abandoned or disposed of through sale, or when it  is
no  longer  considered  to  be commercially  viable.   For  U.S.  GAAP
purposes,  the  Company has elected to expense all  exploration  costs
until such time as the Company establishes, generally by completing  a
detailed  feasability  study,  that a  commercially  mineable  deposit
exists.

Statement   of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  130,  Reporting
Comprehensive Income, requires that a company classify items of  other
comprehensive  income  by  their nature in a financial  statement  and
display   the  accumulated  balance  of  other  comprehensive   income
separately  from retained earnings and additional paid-in  capital  in


                                9


<PAGE>


the  equity  section  of  the balance sheet.   Under  U.S.  GAAP,  the
accumulated  other  comprehensive income at both June  30.,  1999  and
December  31,  1998,  is  $798,000,  representing  cumulative  foreign
currency translation adjustments.  Since there was no change  in  this
amount  in 1999 or 1998 comprehensive income under U.S. GAAP is  equal
to the net loss under U.S. GAAP for those periods presented below.

Other  differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they  relate
to these financial statements are not significant.

The  application of U.S. GAAP would have had the following  effect  on
the Company's balance sheets:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Safe  Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Act  of
1995.   The  statements  contained  in  this  report  which  are   not
historical fact are "forward looking statements" that involve  various
important risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the
Company's actual results for 1999 and beyond to differ materially from
those  expressed  in such forward looking statements.   These  factors
include, without limitation, the risks and factors set forth below  as
well  as  other  risks  previously disclosed in the  Company's  annual
report on Form 10-K.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash  provided  by operations totaled $2,667,000 for  the  six  months
ended  June  30, 1999, compared to $2,638,000 for the same  period  in
1998.  Cash used in investing activities included capital expenditures
for  property  and  equipment and exploration and  development  costs.
Cash expenditures of $3,799,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
relate  primarily to costs incurred at Girilambone.  Cash expenditures
of  $6,421,000  for  the  six months ended June  30,  1998  relate  to
Girilambone and to the Company's Ramu Project.

Cash  provided by financing activities of $795,000 for the six  months
ended  June  30,  1999  consists of borrowings  under  long-term  bank
financing  agreements  of $400,000 and an advance  on  copper  cathode
sales of $395,000. Reductions in other long-term liabilities primarily
relate  to  reductions  in  amounts  payable  under  foreign  currency
contracts.


Results of Operations

The Company recorded a net loss of $552,000 and $866,000 for the three
and  six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared to  a  net
loss  of  $955,000 and $1,068,000 for the same period  in  1998.   The
Company  recorded an operating loss of $1,174,000 and  $1,678,000  for
the  three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively,  compared
to  operating loss of $34,000 and operating earnings of $6,000 for the
same period in 1998 due primarily to lower copper prices.

The  Company's share of copper sold in the  three and six months ended
June  30,  1999  totaled 3,657,000 and 7,670,000 pounds,  respectively
compared to 3,901,000 and 7,752,000 pounds sold in the same period  in
1998.  Due  primarily  to the drop in copper prices,  copper  revenue,
including settlement of copper hedging contracts, decreased $1,021,000
for  the six months ended June 30, 1999.  During the six months  ended
June 30, 1999, the Company received a net price of $0.66 per pound  of
copper  sold compared to $0.80 received for the same period  in  1998.
The copper hedging programs established by the Company resulted in  an
increase  in  sales of $597,000 for the six months ended June  30,1999
compared  to  $456,000  for the same period in  1998.   Including  the
impact  of these hedging programs, the Company realized a net  average
sales  price per pound of $0.73 in the six months ended June 30,  1999
compared to $0.86 per pound for the same period in 1998.

Cost of sales per pound of copper increased to $0.80 per pound for the
six  months  ended June 30, 1999 compared to $0.66 per pound  for  the
same period in 1998 due primarily to increased depreciation, depletion
and amortization ("DD&A") of deferred leach costs.  Cost of sales as a
percentage of sales increased to110% during the six months ended  June
30,  1999 compared to 77% for the same period in 1998 primarily  as  a
result  of lower sales revenues due to the drop in the price of copper
and to increased DD&A.


                                11


<PAGE>

General  and administrative costs decreased $113,000 and $236,000  for
the  three  and  the  six  months ended June 30,  1999,  respectively,
compared  to  the same period in 1998 due primarily to  reductions  in
public  relations  costs,  professional  fees,  office  expenses   and
increases in Australian administrative overhead reimbursement from its
Australian joint venture partners.

Interest  income decreased for  the three and the six  months  periods
ended  June  30, 1999 compared to same period 1998 due to  less  funds
available  for  investment.  Fluctuations in gains and losses  in  the
foreign   currency   exchange  contracts  and  in   foreign   currency
transactions  are  primarily  a result  of  changes  in  the  relative
strength  of  the Australian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar.   The
Company  recorded  a gain of $1,168,000 on forward  currency  exchange
contracts  for  the  six  months ended June 30,  1999  compared  to  a
$830,000  loss  for  the same period in 1998 and  a  loss  on  foreign
currency  transactions of $282,000 for the six months ended  June  30,
1999 compared to a $259,000 loss for the same period in 1998.


Other

On  May  3,  1999 the Company received notification from the  National
Association of Securities Dealers that the Company's common shares had
been  delisted  from  the National Association of  Securities  Dealers
Automated Quotation System.  The shares were delisted effective as  of
the close of business on May 3, 1999 for failure to maintain a closing
bid  price  of  at  least  $1.00 in accordance with  Marketplace  Rule
4450(a)(5)  under  Maintenance  Standard  1.   The  Company's   shares
continue to be traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and are traded  on
the OTC Bulletin Board.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The  Company  is  exposed  to market risk, including  the  effects  of
adverse  changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange  rates
and interest rates as discussed below.


Commodity Price Risk

The  Company  sells  copper  produced from  its  Girilambone  mine  in
Australia.  As a result, the Company's financial results are  affected
when  the price of copper fluctuates.  In order to protect the selling
price  of  a portion of the production from the mine, the Company  has
entered  into  swap  agreements  covering  approximately  75%  of  the
Company's share of production from the mine for 1999 and approximately
25%  of  the  Company's share of production from the  mine  for  2000.
Under  the  terms  of  the swap agreements, the Company  receives  the
difference  between  a fixed price of copper and  the  current  market
price  of copper at the date of settlement if the current market price
is lower.  If the current market price is higher, the Company pays the
difference.   As  of June 30, 1999 the Company had entered  into  swap
agreements covering a total of 7,716,000 pounds of copper at  a  fixed
price of $0.75 per  pound for 1999 and a total  of 3,968,000 pounds of
copper  at a fixed price of $0.80 per pound for 2000.  Swaps  covering
992,000  pounds  are scheduled to settle each month  during  1999  and
331,000 pounds are scheduled to settle each month during 2000.   Since
the  swap  agreements are designated as hedges of  anticipated  copper
sales,  any gains or losses realized upon settlement of the swaps  are
included in sales when the hedged production is sold.


Foreign Currency Risk

Substantial  portions of the operating costs of the  Girilambone  mine
are incurred in Australian dollars.  Since the functional currency  of
the  Company's Australian operations is the US dollar, the Company  is
exposed to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and  the
Australian  dollar.   The Company has entered  into  foreign  currency
forward exchange contracts, which are designed to protect against  the
effect  of  exchange rate fluctuations on a portion of  the  operating
costs  of Girilambone.  Outstanding contracts at June 30, 1999 have  a
total notional amount of US$12,196,000 at an average exchange rate  of
A$1.00  to US $.742.  Notional amounts of US$750,000 are scheduled  to
settle  monthly.  Since these contracts relate to the foreign currency
exchange  risk  of anticipated transactions, under current  accounting
standards, realized and unrealized gains or losses on these  contracts
are  included currently in the results of operation.  As of  June  30,
1999,  cumulative unrealized losses of $1,241,000 have been recognized
in the income statement and recorded as a liability.


Interest Rate Risk

The  Company has long term-debt outstanding of $3,400,000 at June  30,
1999.   Under  the terms of the debt agreement, the maximum  available
can  be increased to $3,600,000 after January 1, 1999.  The loan bears
interest at the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) plus 1  1/2%.
Principal payments are payable quarterly beginning in September,  1999
at  the  greater  of 50% of available cash flow, as defined,  for  the
quarter ending on the relevant payment date or the amount required  to
reduce  the amount outstanding to  $3,400,000 at September  30,  1999,
$2,400,000 at December 31, 1999, $1,100,000 at March 31, 2000  and  to
zero  on  June  30,  2000.   Since  the  interest  rate  on  the  loan
outstanding  is  variable and is reset periodically,  the  Company  is
exposed interest rate risk.
