THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE WAS INCLUDED IN THE NEWS RELEASE FILED AS EXHIBIT 99.1 TO THE CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K:

Nord Resources Corporation Announces
Adjournment of Platinum Diversified Mining, Inc.’s
Extraordinary General Meeting Until November 30, 2006

TUCSON, Arizona, November 27, 2006 – Mr. Ronald Hirsch, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nord Resources Corporation (Other OTC:NRDS.PK – News), announced that Platinum Diversified Mining, Inc.’s (“Platinum”) extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, relating to Platinum’s proposed acquisition of Nord Resources Corporation (“Nord”) in the all-cash merger transaction (the “Merger”) announced on October 23, 2006, was convened and held today at 10:00 a.m. (United Kingdom time). However, Platinum has publicly stated that, due to lack of clarity over the delivery of proxies and the completion thereof, the meeting has been adjourned with the consent of Platinum’s shareholders until 5:00 p.m. (United Kingdom time) on Thursday, November 30, 2006. In its statement, Platinum reported that this should allow Platinum sufficient time to clarify the position on voting and the delivery of proxies to enable all shareholders to achieve their intended objectives.
