SECTION 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

Nord Resources Corporation (“Nord”) has issued a news release announcing that Platinum Diversified Mining, Inc. (“Platinum”) has failed to pay the $2,000,000 termination fee demanded by Nord in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement respecting the proposed acquisition of Nord by Platinum (the “Merger”). In its Notice of Termination dated February 15, 2007, Nord demanded payment of the termination fee no later than the close of business on Tuesday, February 20, 2007, and placed Platinum on notice that it has reserved all of its rights to pursue Platinum for damages.

As previously disclosed by Nord, the delivery of the Notice of Termination followed a request by Platinum to re-negotiate the Merger consideration. Nord is continuing to meet with its legal counsel with the view to determining what steps it should take to preserve its rights in this matter.
