<p style='text-align:justify'><b>&nbsp;Item 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Other
Events</b></p>



<p style='text-align:justify'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nord Pacific
Corporation (&quot;Pacific&quot;) and three of its directors have filed additional
litigation against Nord Resources Corporation (&quot;Resources&quot;) and its directors,
John F. Champagne and Ronald A. Hirsch in connection with the recent attempts
by Resources to oust current management of Pacific.&nbsp; On December 31, 2002,
Resources filed a derivative action in New Mexico State District Court against
Mark R. Welch, John L. Roberts and Lucile Lansing, directors of Pacific,
claiming breach of fiduciary duties, self dealing and related matters, which is
now the subject of a counterclaim by Messrs. Welch and Roberts and Mrs. Lansing
alleging bad faith and malicious abuse of process.&nbsp; </p>



<p style='text-align:justify'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pacific and its three
directors have filed a separate action in United States District Court for the
District Court of New Mexico seeking injunctive relief against Resources,
Champagne, Hirsch and other individuals elected by Resources as Pacific
directors at a purported shareholders meeting called by Resources and held on
June 28, 2003.&nbsp; Pacific asserts that any action supposedly taken at the meeting
was invalid because Resources totally failed to comply with the provisions of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &quot;Exchange Act&quot;) regarding solicitation
of proxies and notice to shareholders.</p>



<p style='text-align:justify'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These events are
somewhat clouded by the fact that Pacific is a New Brunswick corporation and
has been subject to litigation in the Court of Queen's Bench in New Brunswick
over many of the same issues originally brought by Resources in the New Mexico
derivative action.&nbsp; In addition, Resources has contested the issuance of 4
million shares of Pacific common stock issued to Mr. Welch in settlement of his
Retirement Benefits Agreement entered into in 2001.&nbsp; This transaction was
intended to remove in excess of $500,000 as a liability from Pacific's balance
sheet and was accomplished at a per share value of nearly twice the share
market value at the time of the transaction.&nbsp; Nevertheless, the New Brunswick
Court has entered an interim order providing that Mr. Welch cannot vote these shares
at the present time and that an additional 1.2 million shares issued (400,000
shares each) to Mr. Welch, Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Lansing in January, 2003 for
past services cannot be voted at the present time, among other restrictions.</p>



<p style='text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in'>In addition, the
New Brunswick Court ordered that a by-law amendment made in November, 2002 for
the purpose of defining the quorum requirement for a shareholders meeting as a
majority of shareholders was ineffective until approved by shareholders at a
properly called meeting.&nbsp; Under the by-laws prior to the amendment, only two
shareholders were required to establish a quorum at a shareholders meeting,
which Messrs. Welch and Roberts and Mrs. Lansing believed was manifestly unfair
to the shareholders of Pacific.&nbsp; In its interim order, the New Brunswick Court
also ruled that the shareholders meeting originally called by Resources for
February 15, 2003 could be held on June 28, 2003 and that Resources could elect
five directors in addition to Messrs. Welch and Roberts and Mrs. Lansing.
Following this meeting, the &quot;new&quot; board purportedly held a meeting at which Mr.
Champagne was elected President and CEO of Pacific and Mr. Welch's employment
was purportedly terminated, as well as his life insurance and dental benefits.</p>

<hr color="#000080"><br clear=all
style='page-break-before:always'>




<p style='text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in'>Messrs. Welch
and Roberts and Mrs. Lansing do not recognize as valid either the June 28
shareholders meeting or the purported board meeting held thereafter, at which
they were not present.&nbsp; They strongly believe that the Resources Proxy
Statement and Proxy form are woefully deficient under the Exchange Act, as
detailed in the action for injunctive relief filed in New Mexico Federal Court.
</p>



<p style='text-align:justify'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is anticipated
that the matters raised in the New Brunswick Court will tried in full at a
future date which has not yet been determined.&nbsp; It is certainly possible,
however, that there could be a serious conflict between rulings of the Canadian
and United States Courts, particularly in terms of notice to shareholders of
meetings and compliance with the provisions of the Exchange Act regarding
solicitation of proxies.&nbsp; In the interim, however, the New Brunswick Court has
very broad authority under the New Brunswick Business Corporations Act to make
rulings which would be highly unusual under principles embodied in United
States corporate law.</p>



<p style='text-align:justify'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the opinion of
Messrs. Welch and Roberts and Mrs. Lansing, the actions taken by Resources,
Champagne and Hirsch can be reasonably calculated to destroy Pacific as a
viable company.&nbsp; Prior to such actions, Pacific had expressed its intent to
become current in its audited financial statements and public filings, which
would have enhanced the possibility of being able to raise the funds required
to avoid dilution under its joint venture agreement with PGM Ventures
Corporation covering the Tabar Islands gold projects in Papua New Guinea.&nbsp;
Instead, the funds that could have been used to complete audited financial
statements and become current in public filings have necessarily been diverted
towards litigation initiated by Resources, Champagne and Hirsch.</p>



<p style='text-align:justify'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To put all of this in
perspective, shareholders should closely examine the track record of Resources
and prior actions taken by Champagne and Hirsch.&nbsp; Resources has no viable
assets, significant potential environmental liabilities and, among other
things, unsuccessfully attempted to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code.&nbsp; On the other hand, Pacific management was able to
extract the company from the brink of insolvency and complete a joint venture
which provides the potential for shareholder realization of value.&nbsp; It is
indeed a shame that these efforts may go for naught on account of greed and
self-aggrandizement but the battle is not yet over.</p>
