Re: Post-Effective Amendment to Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (Registration
  No. 333-146813) filed on September 30, 2008

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), Nord Resources Corporation (the “Registrant”) hereby applies to the Securities and Exchange Commission for consent to immediately withdraw the Registrant’s “Post-Effective Amendment” to its Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (Registration No. 333-146813), filed on September 30, 2008 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”).

The Post-Effective Amendment is being withdrawn because the Post-Effective Amendment was filed via EDGAR as a Pre-Effective Amendment under the EDGAR code “S-1/A” rather than a Post-Effective Amendment under the EDGAR code “POS AM.” No securities have been sold pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment. We are filing a new “Post-Effective Amendment No. 1” under EDGAR code “POS AM” today.

If you have any questions regarding this application for withdrawal, please contact Daniel D. Dex of Lang Michener, LLP at (604) 691-6839.
