Item 5.07.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

An Annual General Meeting of Shareholders ("AGM") of Nord Resources Corporation (the "Company") was held on June 16, 2011 to approve the agenda items described below.

Proxies for the AGM were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and there was no solicitation in opposition to the Company's solicitation.

A total of 83,563,850 registered shares (58.43% of 112,117,627 registered shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of April 28, 2011, the record date for the AGM) were present in person or by proxy, constituted a quorum for the transaction of business, and were voted at the AGM. The agenda items submitted at the AGM were passed as described below. Percentages indicated below reflect the percentage of the total number of registered shares voted at the AGM.
