1.      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial information of Nord Resources Corporation is prepared in accordance with the rules prescribed for filing condensed interim financial statements and, accordingly, does not include all disclosures that may be necessary for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The disclosures presented are sufficient, in management’s opinion, to make the interim information presented not misleading. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary so as to make the interim information not misleading, have been made. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December, 31, 2005. It is recommended that this financial information be read in conjunction with the complete financial statements included in Nord Resource Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing to resume mining operations at Johnson Camp Mine, and to produce copper to sell at a level where the Company becomes profitable. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve its operating plan.

Management’s plan includes the following:

If management cannot achieve its operating plan because of sales shortfalls or other unfavorable events, the Company may find it necessary to dispose of assets, or undertake other actions as may be appropriate.

3.      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has adopted the fair value method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, for all issuances of stock options to non-employees of the Company. The Company will continue using the intrinsic value method under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for all stock options issued to employees. Under APB No. 25, compensation cost is recognized to the extent that the exercise price is less than the market price for the underlying stock on the date of grant. There were 2,250,000 stock option grants to employees of the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and no stock option grants to employees during the three or six months ended June 30, 2004; therefore, if the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards

F-6

NORD RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

under its stock-based compensation plans consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would be reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

4.      BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options and warrants outstanding. Outstanding options and warrants to purchase 5,197,249 and 2,435,500 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the effect of the assumed exercise of these options and warrants would be antidilutive.

5.      RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which revised SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and superseded APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. SFAS No. 123R requires measurement and recording in the financial statements of the costs of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for such award. SFAS No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R and has not determined the impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 2.                Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, elsewhere in that report and in this quarterly report.

Overview of Our Business

We are in the business of exploring for and developing mineral mining properties. Our principal asset is the Johnson Camp property located in Arizona. The Johnson Camp property includes the Johnson Camp Mine which is an existing open pit copper mine and production facility that uses the solvent extraction, electrowinning (SX-EW) process. The Johnson Camp Mine includes two existing open pits, namely the Burro and the Copper Chief bulk mining pits.

The Johnson Camp property consists of 64 patented lode mining claims (872 acres), 88 unpatented claims (1,340 acres) and fee simple lands (511 acres), totaling 2,723 acres. The copper processing facilities and the Burro and Copper Chief bulk mining pits are located on the patented mining claims or fee simple lands.

The Johnson Camp property has had a long history of development and mining, dating back to the early 1880s. A number of underground mines operated in the 1880-1975 period. In 1974, Cyprus Mines Corporation developed a large scale open pit heap leach mine and SX-EW processing complex on the Johnson Camp property. Mining in the Burro pit commenced in 1975 and continued until 1986 when the operation closed. After the closure, Cyprus dismantled the original SX-EW plant. Cyprus continued to maintain ownership of the Johnson Camp Mine until 1989, when it sold its holdings in the district to Arimetco, Inc. In mid-1990, Arimetco, Inc. constructed a new SX-EW plant at the Johnson Camp Mine and resumed mining in the Burro pit in 1991. Arimetco, Inc. began limited open pit mining from the Copper Chief deposit in 1996. Mining continued from both the Burro and Copper Chief deposits until 1997, when production was terminated.

We acquired the Johnson Camp property from Arimetco in June 1999. We continued production of copper from ore that had been mined and placed on leach pads until August 2003 when we placed the Johnson Camp mine on a care and maintenance program due to weak market conditions for copper at that time. Although mining ceased in 1997, the Johnson Camp leach pads and SX-EW operation remained active until 2003, producing approximately 6.7 million pounds of copper cathode from residual copper in the heaps over the period 1998 to 2003. Currently, the existing Johnson Camp leach dumps are being rinsed in a limited manner with the goal of managing solution inventories.

We are just emerging from a prolonged period of severe financial distress that was precipitated by the closure of our former rutile mining operations in Sierra Leone, West Africa, in 1995. We also underwent a complete change in our management in 2000 and early 2001 following the settlement of a shareholders’ derivative case against our Company and the majority of the directors then in office. Our new management has been focused on preserving our primary asset, the Johnson Camp Mine, a copper mine and processing facility in Arizona that has been on a care and maintenance program since August 2003.

-2-

Our near term objective is to resume mining and leaching operations at the Johnson Camp Mine, with the view to producing approximately 25 million pounds of copper per year. We obtained a feasibility study containing a mine plan for the Johnson Camp Mine that was completed by The Winters Company in March 2000. We obtained an updated feasibility study prepared by Winters, Dorsey and Company in October 2005. The updated feasibility study includes an economic assessment of the Johnson Camp Mine based on the mine plan included in the original feasibility study and current capital and operating cost estimates, and 36 month average copper prices. Winters, Dorsey concluded in its feasibility study that resumption of operations at the Johnson Camp Mine in accordance with the mine plan will generate positive discounted cash flows over an eleven year mine life at 8%, 10% and 15% discount rates.

We believe the resumption of mining activities at the Johnson Camp mine is warranted based on the recent increase in the market price of copper. The market for copper is cyclical and over the last fifteen years the price of copper has fluctuated between $0.60 and $2.19 per pound. In its most recent cycle the price fell to a low of $0.62 per pound in 1999, due primarily to increased supply with the commissioning of several new mines while demand decreased, largely due to a reduction of consumption in Asia. However, since that time, the price has risen to $2.19 per pound as of December 2005. This increase is due to an increase in worldwide demand for copper. We believe that the strengthening market for copper has created an opportunity for us to reactivate the Johnson Camp Mine, despite the anticipated high costs that this will involve. However, we caution investors that the market price for copper has historically been cyclical and there is a significant risk that copper prices will not remain at current high levels.

Our Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations is to pursue the financing that will be necessary to enable us to resume mining and leaching operations at the Johnson Camp Mine, with the view to producing approximately 25 million pounds of copper per year. If we are successful in raising this financing, we plan to complete the mine development plan outlined in the October 2005 feasibility study prepared by Winters, Dorsey and Company.

In order to resume full mining operations, we will have to complete the mine development plan outlined in the updated feasibility study, as discussed above. The initial capital costs to be incurred within the first two years of start-up are expected to exceed $22 million (including working capital), and relate primarily to the rehabilitation of solution ponds, refurbishment and a modest expansion of the copper production facility, and the purchase and installation of crushing and conveying equipment. The capital costs to be incurred in the following two years are expected to be approximately an additional $9 million (including working capital) and will be attributable to the construction of new leach pads, new ponds and pipe, and the infrastructure for conveyor relocation.

Our mine operating plan calls for an active leach program of newly mined ore and the residual leaching of the existing old dumps. We plan to use a mining contractor to mine both the Burro and Copper Chief deposits, and our own employees for remediation activities.

We presently do not have sufficient cash or working capital necessary to implement the mine development plan and commence mining operations. This mine development plan will require that we complete initial capital expenditures of approximately $22 million (including working capital) in order to start-up operations. Such capital costs relate primarily to rehabilitation of solution ponds, refurbishment and a modest expansion of the copper production facility, and the purchase and installation of crushing and conveying equipment.

-3-

We estimate that we will incur a further $9 million (including working capital) in the following two years. These additional capital costs account for new leach pads, new ponds and pipe, and the infrastructure for conveyor relocation. These figures do not include estimated reclamation bonding requirements, and do not account for inflation, interest and other financing costs.

Accordingly, our ability to commence mining operations will be subject to our obtaining sufficient financing to enable us to fund the necessary initial capital costs and start-up operation expenses and working capital. In addition, final permits must be in place before mining operations are commenced. Once financing and permits are in place, we anticipate it will take approximately three months to complete sufficient rehabilitation of the Johnson Camp Mine to allow the production of copper from the existing heaps, and approximately nine months to begin producing copper from new ore placed on the heaps.

We presently do not have any arrangements in place to obtain the necessary financing to commence mining operations. We plan to raise the necessary financing through a combination of debt and equity financing. We believe that we may be forced to effect a reverse split (consolidation) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in connection with any equity financing. There is a substantial risk that we will not be able to obtain the necessary financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition to the risk that we do not obtain financing, our business and our ability to realize our business objectives and implement our operating plan is subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, under the heading “Risk Factors”. If we fail to obtain the necessary financing, our plan is to continue to maintain the Johnson Camp Mine on care and maintenance status indefinitely.

In addition to the Johnson Camp property, we have options to acquire interests in three exploration stage projects, Coyote Springs and the Texas Arizona Mines project, both located in Arizona, and Mimbres located in New Mexico. We are planning to conduct preliminary exploration activities at the Coyote Springs and Mimbres properties to help us determine whether we should exercise the options. Any such exploration activities are subject to availability of sufficient financing, which cannot be assured. We do not believe that these properties are material to our overall operations at this time.

For a detailed description of our business objectives, our history and background and our property, please see our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 under the headings “Description of Business” and “Description of Property”.

Results Of Operations – Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

The following table sets forth our operating results on a quarterly basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared with our operating results on a quarterly basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004:

-4-

Our principal focus during fiscal 2004 was the preservation of our principal asset, the Johnson Camp property, which we acquired in June 1999. During 2005, we have continued to maintain the Johnson Camp Mine and have expanded our focus to include the following activities with the ultimate objective of enabling us to pursue financing to bring the Johnson Camp mine into production:

               (i)        preparation of our audited financial statements;

               (ii)       preparation of the filings required to be made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in order to that we are current with our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”); and

               (iii)      seeking interim financing necessary to enable us to continue our business operations.

Net Sales

We did not have any sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 due to the fact that the Johnson Camp Mine was on a care and maintenance program during these periods.

-5-

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 consisted primarily of care and maintenance costs for the Johnson Camp mine and general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses during this period consisted mainly of labor, professional, legal and accounting fees.

Operating expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of our increased professional expenses associated with preparation of audited financial statements and our required filings with the SEC and our efforts to obtain financing during 2005 to further fund our business operations.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Our depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is attributable to interest that we pay on loans that we have obtained to fund our business operations.

Interest expense increased significantly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of the $2,750,000 loan facility that we arranged with Regiment Capital III, L.P., a unit of Boston-based Regiment Capital Advisors, LLC, in October 2004. This loan facility has subsequently been re-paid through alternate debt financing that we arranged.

Miscellaneous Income/Expense

Miscellaneous income is primarily attributable to royalty income that we earn from our landscape aggregate business. Royalty income represents amounts that we are paid by a third party contractor who has the contractual right to remove waste rock from the Johnson Camp property for use in the landscape aggregate business.

Miscellaneous income decreased significantly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. The difference was primarily due to miscellaneous income in the amount of $92,357 that we realized in the first quarter of 2004 from the sale of common stock of PGM Ventures Corporation, and miscellaneous expense in the amount of $159,366 that we recognized in the second quarter of 2005 in connection with a legal settlement between our company and Pierce Carson, our former chief executive officer.

Net Loss

Our net loss increased significantly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of:

-6-

Liquidity and Financial Resources

Our company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing to resume mining and processing operations at the Johnson Camp Mine, and to produce copper at a level where we can become profitable, pay off existing debt and provide sufficient funds for general corporate purposes, all of which is uncertain. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures to this effect, and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We anticipate that we will require between $1 million and $2 million through the next year to continue care and maintenance at the Johnson Camp Mine, and to provide working capital for our financing activities. We may need to sell some or all of our common shares of Allied Gold. (See the discussion immediately below under the subheading “Cash and Working Capital”.) In addition, we may have to draw down further debt under our revolving line of credit agreement dated June 21, 2005, with Ronald Hirsch, our company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Stephen Seymour, one of our company’s directors. (For additional details respecting the line of credit agreement, please see the discussion below under the subheading “Line of Credit - Related Parties.”) As of September 30, 2005, we had $175,000 available to us under the revolving line of credit.

Cash and Working Capital

The following table sets forth our cash and working capital as of June 30, 2005 (unaudited):

(1)      Includes $3,008,793 in current portion long-term debt.

If we leave the Johnson Camp Mine on care and maintenance status, and we do not incur any extraordinary liabilities, we will incur monthly expenses of approximately $170,000. We anticipate our current cash to be adequate to cover such care and maintenance activities through October 2006, after taking into account approximately $1,460,000 in gross proceeds that we anticipate we will realize from the sale of the 5,029,894 shares of Allied Gold that we held as of December 31, 2005, based on their current market price of approximately AUD$0.40 per share ($0.29 per share, based on the noon buying rate in New York of $0.7342:AUD$ 1.00 on December 30, 2005, as certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for customs purposes), which cannot be assured.

Our estimated monthly expenses do not take into account additional funds that we will have to obtain to repay our secured bridge loan in the principal amount of $3,900,000, at maturity. The bridge loan provides for interest only payments at a rate of 9% per annum payable monthly, and matures on the earlier of May 8, 2006 or the closing of an equity offering in which we raise not less than $25,000,000.

-7-

Our estimated monthly expenses also do not include any additional costs that we will have to incur if we proceed with our plan to reactivate the Johnson Camp Mine. As discussed above under the heading, “Our Plan of Operations,” we expect to incur initial capital costs in excess of $22 million (including working capital) within the first two years of start-up, and a further $9 million (including working capital) in the following two years.

We anticipate that we will have to incur significant additional costs in connection with our ongoing financing activities.

In addition, our anticipated monthly expenses do not include provision for payment of the following accrued and unpaid liabilities:

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Our cash flows during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $(679,470) and $(349,387), respectively. This was primarily due to the fact that the Johnson Camp Mine was on a care and maintenance program during these periods.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

As we have had no revenues since the placement of the Johnson Camp Mine on care and maintenance status in August 2003, we have financed our operations primarily by using existing capital reserves, entering into settlements with debtors, obtaining debt financing and through private placements of our stock.

Bridge Financing by Regiment Capital III, L.P.

In connection with our acquisition of the Johnson Camp property from Arimetco, Inc. in June 1999, our company paid Arimetco $310,000 and issued a secured promissory note payable to Arimetco in the amount of $1,550,000. The note was payable in installments of $500,000, $500,000 and $550,000, due on June 8, 2000, June 8, 2001 and June 8, 2002, respectively, together with interest at the rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly. We also agreed to pay Arimetco a royalty up to an additional $1,000,000 from revenues from the Johnson Camp Mine, at a rate of $0.02 per pound for all copper sold, but only if the market price is in excess of $1.00 per pound.

In 2001, we defaulted on our note and entered into negotiations with Arimetco that ultimately culminated in an amended secured loan, and a settlement and release of claims agreement between our company and Arimetco, in June 2002. Pursuant to the terms of the amended loan, we were required to make a $100,000 partial payment to Arimetco, and Arimetco agreed to forbear from commencing collection action against our company until June 2004.

-8-

In October 2004, we entered into a $2,750,000 loan facility with Regiment Capital III, L.P., a unit of Boston-based Regiment Capital Advisors, LLC. In connection with this loan, which was evidenced by a secured promissory note, we entered into a Security Agreement and a Pledge and Security Agreement. The note provided for interest-only payments at 10% per annum payable monthly, that matured in October 2005 and was paid in full from the proceeds of a loan from Auramet Trading, LLC (as discussed below). This debt was collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets. We incurred debt issuance costs of $241,370 related to this note. We used $828,477 of the proceeds from this loan to pay off the Arimetco loan and have been using the remainder to fund our ongoing activities at the Johnson Camp Mine and for general corporate purposes.

Bridge Financing by Aurament Trading, LLC

On October 17, 2005, we obtained a loan in the amount of $2,850,000 from Auramet Trading, LLC, of which $1,850,000 was funded by Ronald Hirsch pursuant to an Agreement for Credit Risk Participation dated October 17, 2005, between Auramet Trading and Mr. Hirsch. The agreement gave Mr. Hirsch the right to own a 65% interest in the loan and in all documents, instruments and collateral issued by Auramet Trading, as well as all payments, recoveries or distributions in connection with the loan. We paid Auramet Trading, as arranger of the bridge financing, a mandate fee of $15,000. We issued a secured promissory note to Auramet Trading that provided for interest only payments at a rate of 9% per annum payable monthly and the note was to mature on the earlier of April 17, 2006 or the closing of an equity offering in which we raised not less than $25,000,000. The note was secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated October 17, 2005, relating to the Johnson Camp property granting Auramet Trading a first priority lien encumbering all of the real and personal property associated with the Johnson Camp property, that has since been discharged. Pursuant to the terms of the note, we were required to make an irrevocable offer to Auramet Trading to pay off the note at 101% of the principal amount outstanding upon the occurrence of certain mandatory repurchase events. Such mandatory repurchase events include, among other things, the acquisition by any person (together with all affiliates) of 51% or more of the outstanding voting securities of our company, or a change to our Board of Directors to the extent that those individuals who constituted our Board of Directors at the time of the financing no longer constitute a majority of the Board. We used $2,763,561 of the proceeds from this loan to pay off the Regiment Capital III, L.P. loan and $40,000 to pay Auramet Trading’s closing fee.

In connection with the Auramet Trading loan, Mr. Hirsch, Stephen Seymour and Auramet Trading entered into a Subordination Agreement dated October 17, 2005 whereby Mr. Hirsch and Mr. Seymour, another of our directors, agreed to subordinate all present and future loans to us in favor of any and all indebtedness that we have with Auramet Trading. In addition, we entered into an Environmental Indemnity Agreement with Auramet Trading dated October 17, 2005.

Bridge Financing by Nedbank Limited

On November 8, 2005, we obtained a loan in the amount of $3,900,000 from Nedbank Limited, in which Auramet Trading participated through the contribution of the $1,000,000 outstanding amount payable by us under the October 17, 2005 loan. Auramet Trading contributed this funding pursuant to an agreement between Nedbank and Auramet Trading. We issued a secured promissory note to Nedbank that provides for interest only payments at a rate of 9% per annum payable monthly and the note matures on the earlier of May 8, 2006 or the closing of an equity offering in which we raise not less than $25,000,000.

-9-

The note is secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated November 8, 2005, relating to the Johnson Camp property granting Nedbank a first priority lien encumbering all of the real and personal property associated with the Johnson Camp property. Pursuant to the terms of the note, we are required to make an irrevocable offer to Nedbank to pay off the note at 101% of the principal amount outstanding upon the occurrence of certain mandatory repurchase events. Such mandatory repurchase events include, among other things, the acquisition by any person (together with all affiliates) of 51% or more of the outstanding voting securities of our company, or a change to our Board of Directors to the extent that those individuals who constituted our Board of Directors at the time of the financing no longer constitute a majority of the Board. We used $1,860,175 of the proceeds from this loan to repay the portion of the Auramet Trading loan that was contributed by Mr. Hirsch, $5,500 to pay the accrued interest on the Auramet Trading loan, $50,000 to pay the legal fees of Auramet Trading in connection with the bridge loan, $400,000 to Auramet Trading to purchase copper put options, $100,000 to pay the closing fee of Nedbank, and are using the remainder to fund our ongoing activities at the Johnson Camp property and for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2005, approximately $275,000 worth of copper put options have been bought and the balance remains on deposit with Auramet Trading.

In connection with the Nedbank loan, Mr. Hirsch, Mr. Seymour and Nedbank entered into a Subordination Agreement dated November 8, 2005 whereby Mr. Hirsch and Mr. Seymour have agreed to subordinate all present and future loans to us in favor of any and all indebtedness that we have with Nedbank. In addition, we entered into an Environmental Indemnity Agreement with Nedbank dated November 8, 2005.

If we wish to procure any project financing for the Johnson Camp property, Nedbank has a right of first refusal to obtain such financing if mutual agreement can be obtained on terms acceptable to us.

We have been negotiating a further debt financing facility with Nedbank in connection with our plans to reactivate the Johnson Camp Mine. On January 31, 2006, we were advised by Nedbank that its Credit Committee has approved in principle a $14 million debt financing facility for the development of the Johnson Camp Mine, subject to:

Loans from Ronald Hirsch and Stephen Seymour

During 2004, we issued convertible promissory notes to Stephen Seymour and Ronald Hirsch in the principal amounts of $66,000 and $106,000, respectively. The loans evidenced by these convertible notes accrue interest at 10% per annum, are unsecured and have been extended to mature on the earlier of May 8, 2006, or one week after the closing of an equity offering in which our company raises in excess of $25 million, unless converted in accordance with their terms. The principal amount of these loans and (at our option, the accrued interest thereon), may be converted on their maturity dates into common stock at the conversion price of $0.20 per share. The proceeds of these loans were used to fund our activities at the Johnson Camp property and for general corporate purposes. A beneficial conversion feature is associated with each of the convertible notes since the value of our company’s common stock exceeded the debt conversion price on the dates of the respective loans.

During June 2004, Mr. Hirsch exercised 1,750,000 stock options at an aggregate exercise price of $35,000. Subsequently, during June 2005, Mr. Hirsch and our company agreed to rescind this stock option exercise. In exchange for the $35,000 that was paid to us by Mr. Hirsch upon the original exercise of his options, we issued a convertible promissory note to Mr. Hirsch and cancelled the related 1,750,000 shares of common stock. The promissory note bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible at maturity on January 1, 2006 into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.175 per share. The maturity of this loan has been extended to the earlier of May 8, 2006 or one week after the closing of an equity offering in which we raise in excess of $25 million. A beneficial conversion feature of $25,000 is associated with this promissory note since the value of our company’s common stock exceeded the debt conversion price on the date of the loan. In connection with this transaction, we granted a new stock option to Mr. Hirsch effective April 4, 2005, entitling him to purchase up to 1,750,000 shares of our common stock at any time during a five year term at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. As a result, we recognized approximately $490,000 of compensation expense as of the grant date of the option.

Private Placements

Between April and December 2004, we completed a private placement of 421,500 units at $0.35 per unit, for total gross proceeds of $147,525. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one half of one share of common stock. The stock purchase warrants have an exercise price of $0.35 and expire in three years. The proceeds from this private placement were used to fund ongoing activities at the Johnson Camp Mine and for general corporate purposes.

In September 2005, we commenced a private placement of equity securities up to a maximum of 1,428,571 units, whereby one unit, consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock, were offered at $0.35 per unit. We sold 819,644 units for a total of $286,875 pursuant to this private placement. The stock purchase warrants have an exercise price of $0.40 and expire in three years.

Line of Credit – Related Parties

On June 21, 2005, our company entered into a $600,000 revolving line of credit agreement with Ronald Hirsch and Stephen Seymour. The line of credit bears interest at 6.0% per annum and matures on December 31, 2005. This loan has been extended to the earlier of May 8, 2006 or one week following the closing of an equity offering in which we raise not less than $25 million. In consideration for the issuance of the line of credit, our company agreed to issue to the lenders four shares of common stock and four warrants for every $1 loaned to our company. Each warrant entitles the lender to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 for a period of three years.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

We did not have any cash flows from investing activities during the during the six months ended June 30, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we received proceeds of $195,205 from the sale of our shares in PGM Ventures Corporation and Principal Financial Group Incorporated. In addition, we incurred the following capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2004: (a) $22,906 in connection with the purchase of our options on certain mineral exploration properties; and (b) $20,000 in connection with the purchase of mining equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates include the accounting for accounts receivable, marketable securities and long-lived assets reclamation costs, and accounting for legal contingencies.

Accounts Receivable

We grant credit to all qualified customers and generally require no collateral. Accounts receivable are carried at cost less an allowance for losses, if an allowance is deemed necessary. We do not accrue finance or interest charges. On a periodic basis, our company evaluates its accounts receivable and determines the requirement for an allowance for losses, based upon history of past write-offs, collections and current credit conditions. A receivable is written off when it is determined that all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of common stock and are stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. All marketable securities are defined as trading securities or available for sale securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable debt and equity securities at the time of each purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. Debt securities, for which our company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity, and equity securities are classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of investments sold is determined on the specific identification or the first-in, first-out method.

Long-Lived Assets

Our company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using valuation techniques such as estimated future cash flows. An impairment is considered to exist if total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows for the Johnson Camp Mine include estimates of recoverable pounds of copper, copper prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production rates and costs, capital and reclamation costs as appropriate, all based upon detailed life-of-mine engineering plans and feasibility studies. Assumptions underlying future cash flow estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties. No impairment losses were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

Reclamation Costs

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” on January 1, 2003. Reclamation costs are thus allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate.

Prior to our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, we estimated future reclamation costs based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. Such costs related to active mines were accrued and charged over the expected operating lives of the mines using the units of production method based on proven and probable reserves.

We estimated our asset retirement obligations using an expected cash flow approach, in which multiple cash flow scenarios were used to reflect a range of possible outcomes. We estimated the aggregate undiscounted obligation to be approximately $400,000 for the Johnson Camp Mine. To calculate the fair value of this obligation, the projected cash flows were discounted at our company’s estimated credit-adjusted, risk free interest rate of 10%. At January 1, 2003, we estimated the fair value of our total asset retirement obligation in respect of the Johnson Camp Mine to be $124,534. We recorded the fair value of this obligation and the related asset as of January 1, 2003. The net difference between our company’s previously recorded reclamation and closure cost liability and the amounts recorded under Statement of Accounting Standards No. 143, after taxes, resulted in a gain of $151,323 for the year ended December 31, 2003, which was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. At June 30, 2005, the recorded value of accrued reclamation costs was $158,083.

Income Taxes

Our company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the financial statements. Under applicable accounting rules, we are considered to be unlikely to recognize sufficient operating income to realize the benefit of these assets over time until we have had a reasonable history of net profits, which in some circumstances has been interpreted as requiring at least two consecutive years of net profits.

-13-

Accordingly, we have recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance in 2005 and prior years to offset the entire deferred tax asset arising from our tax loss carry forward. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized, based upon criteria that include a recent history of demonstrated profits. We will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. Income tax expense consists of the tax payable or refundable for the current period and the change during the period in net deferred tax assets and liabilities. A change of over 50% of our equity ownership will result in a change in ownership as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and underlying regulations, and will have the effect of limiting the availability of the tax loss carry forward.

Litigation

Our company is currently subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. If any adverse decisions or settlements occur, they may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, or results of operations. Litigation, is inherently uncertain and we can make no assurance as to the ultimate outcome or effect.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (as revised), which provides guidance on the identification and reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. FIN 46R defines such entities as variable interest entities (“VIEs”). In general a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46R requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIEs activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. Application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in VIEs for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities who are small business issuers and by non-public entities is required at various dates in 2004 and 2005. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have any impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs-an amendment of Accounting Principles Board No. 43, Chapter 4,” which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials as current period costs. It also requires that allocations of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of production facilities. SFAS No. 151 applies to inventory costs incurred in the first financial year beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are not expected to have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of Accounting Principles Board No. 29”. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception to account for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets at carrying value and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance; otherwise, the exchange principle of fair value applies. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are not expected to have a material impact on our company’s consolidated financial statements.

-14-

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which revised SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. SFAS No. 123R requires measurement and recording in the financial statements of the costs of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for such award. SFAS No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. We have not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R and have not determined the impact on our company’s financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.                Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Chief Executive Officer, Ron Hirsch, and Chief Financial Officer, John Perry, are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for our company.

Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005 (under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters discussed below relating to internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2005, due to certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

Our company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

-15-

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), a material weakness is a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Several material weaknesses have been identified by us and our independent auditor with respect to our company’s internal control over financial reporting, as follows:

We believe that the appointment of Mr. Perry as our Chief Financial Officer in April 2005 will help us to address the material weaknesses identified. Under Mr. Perry’s supervision, our company continues to implement remediation plans, including the following:

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                Legal Proceedings

Other than as set forth below, we know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

-16-

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. The outcome of open unresolved legal proceedings is presently indeterminable. Any settlement resulting from resolution of these contingencies will be accounted for in the period of settlement. We do not believe the potential outcome from these legal proceedings will significantly impact our financial position, operations or cash flows.

On December 10, 2003, Great West Life initiated a court action against us in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, County of Maricopa on allegations of unpaid health insurance premiums. Great West Life is claiming losses in excess of $80,000. To date, our attorneys have proposed private mediation and are still in the process of resolving certain discovery disputes. We are contesting the case vigorously. Our defense is that Great West Life failed to administer claims correctly and we had to pay health insurance claims directly to the providers. Our attorney’s evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome cannot be made at this time.

On September 7, 2002, ADEQ issued a Compliance Order requiring the company to bring the Johnson Camp Mine into compliance with Arizona’s aquifer protection laws. Pursuant to the Compliance Order, we entered into a stipulated judgment with ADEQ which assessed civil penalties against us in the amount of $4,325,000. The stipulated judgment can only be entered should a default notice issued pursuant to the Compliance Order not be cured within 60 days after notice is received. In addition, the Compliance Order created an escrow account, into which we deposited $1,500,000 to bring the Johnson Camp Mine into compliance with the Compliance Order. All of the funds deposited into the escrow account were used by us, with approval from ADEQ, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 to bring the Johnson Camp Mine into compliance with the Compliance Order. The Compliance Order further provides that any future violations of Arizona’s aquifer protection laws would subject us to additional civil penalties, including the entry of the stipulated judgment and the assessment of the civil penalties described in the stipulated judgment. We have not received a default notice under the Compliance Order, and the stipulated judgment has not been entered against us.

In August, 2003, the Superior Court of the State of Arizona issued a judgment against us in favor of Sulphur Springs Valley Electric, Inc. in the amount of $161,316 for non-payment of our electricity bill. Sulphur Springs entered into a covenant not to execute on this judgment with us on January 23, 2004 as long as we abide by a specified payment schedule. To date we have met our obligations under this covenant not to execute, and we are still obligated to pay $3,000 on the first day of every month, with the remaining amount due on the judgment to be paid on February 28, 2006. We estimate the amount due on February 28, 2006 to be $118,500.

On December 3, 2005, we initiated legal proceedings against Titanium Resources Group claiming, among other things, that they purposefully concealed the pending public offering from us during the negotiation of the option agreement and thereby deprived us of the opportunity to account for the positive impact the AIM listing would have on the value of the Class B share in determining a fair price for the share. Further, as disclosed in the AIM listing, Titanium Resources Group had orchestrated a change in the corporate structure of the mine’s ownership. We allege that this was done without our consent and is contrary to their agreement with us.

We are currently subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the company; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and our company can make no assurance as to the ultimate outcome or effect.

Item 2.                Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We issued securities in the following transactions without registering the securities under the Securities Act:

We issued 250,000 warrants to purchase 250,000 common stock to W. Pierce Carson in connection with a Settlement Agreement and General Release dated April 22, 2005 between us and Mr. Carson. The stock purchase warrants have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire in three years. We issued these securities to Mr. Carson, an accredited investor, relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, amended.

Effective April 1, 2005, we hired John Perry as our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. In connection with his hiring, we executed a memorandum of understanding with Mr. Perry which states that for employment services rendered, Mr. Perry will be compensated on a monthly basis with 20,000 shares of common stock until such time that we receive funding of at least $10,000,000. Additionally, we agreed to issue 500,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Perry as a signing bonus, of which 250,000 were issuable upon the execution of the memorandum of understanding, and the remaining 250,000 are to be disbursed one year thereafter. As at December 31, 2005, we had issued a total of 430,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Perry under these arrangements. We also issued stock options to Mr. Perry entitling him to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable for a term of five years, as follows: (a) 200,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.30 per share; (b) 100,000 at an exercise price of $0.40 per share; (c) 100,000 at an exercise price of $0.50 per share; and (d) 100,000 at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. On April 18, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with John T. Perry to serve as our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. We issued these securities to Mr. Perry, an accredited investor, relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

As discussed in greater detail under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation – Line of Credit – Related Parties,” we have entered into a $600,000 revolving line of credit agreement dated June 21, 2005, with Ronald Hirsch and Stephen Seymour. In consideration for the issuance of the line of credit, our company agreed to issue to the lenders four shares of common stock and four warrants for every $1 loaned to our company. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 for a period of three years. Between June 21, 2005 and September 22, 2005, we issued a total of 1,700,000 shares of common stock and 1,700,000 warrants under this agreement, in connection with draw downs under the credit facility. The warrants expire as follows: 100,000 warrants will expire on June 21, 2008; 100,000 warrants will expire on June 29, 2008; 900,000 warrants will expire on July 8, 2008; 400,000 warrants will expire on August 1, 2008; and 200,000 warrants will expire on September 22, 2008. We issued these securities to accredited investors, relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
