The Company's primary asset is the Johnson Camp Mine located approximately 65 miles east of Tucson, Arizona. The reactivation of the Johnson Camp Mine commenced in June 2007. Residual leaching operations commenced in November 2007. Cathode production from residual leaching commenced in late January 2008 and planned copper production from new ore placed on the heaps is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2008.
Our corporate strategy is to reactivate mining and leaching operations at the Johnson Camp Mine with a view to producing approximately 25,000,000 pounds of copper per year. We believe that we have the following business strengths that will enable us to achieve our objectives;
* The Johnson Camp Mine is expected to have a mine life of 16 years and capable of producing approximately 25,000,000 pounds of copper year;
* Direct cathode production with no exposure to smelting and refining costs, and reduced transportation costs;
* Our company has a strong, experienced and proven management team;
* A strong global copper market which is currently experiencing a deficit in domestic copper production;
* Mining operations in the US, and in Arizona in particular, have a stable political base; and
* Sufficient financing to facilitate reactivation on the Johnson Camp Mine with the view to commencing copper cathode production from residual leaching of existing heaps in the first quarter of 2008 and production of copper cathodes from new ore mined and placed on the heaps in the third quarter of 2008

Project and Operations The Johnson Camp Mine Our principal asset, the Johnson Camp Mine, is a copper mine and production facility located 65 miles east of Tucson, Arizona. The property consists of 64 patented lode mining claims (872 acres), 88 unpatented claims (1,340 acres) and fee simple lands (511 acres), totalling 2,723 acres. The on-site copper production facility includes a 4,600 gallon per minute solvent extraction plant and tank farm, a 52,000 lb/day capacity electrowinning plant with 74 cells, 8 million gallons of solution storage and other related equipment.
Based on current reserves the Johnson Camp is expected to produce 25 million pounds of copper cathodes annually over a mine life of 16 years. Additionally, the Company commenced further exploratory drilling on the Johnson Camp property in mid-July 2007 and has completed the first phase of preliminary exploratory drilling around the periphery of the existing boundaries of the Burro and Copper Chief pits, but is awaiting assaresults on the samples obtained from the drilling program.
In addition to the copper mining operations the Johnson Camp property also includes a decorative and structural stone operation which produces landscape and aggregate rock from the overburden stockpiles at the Johnson Camp Mine. The Company currently leases this landscape and aggregate rock operation to JC Rock, LLC in exchange for a sliding scale royalty. The Company plans on taking over the landscape and aggregate rock operation through its subsidiary, Cochise Aggregates and Materials, Inc., within the first year following the reactivation of the Johnson Camp Mine.
The Johnson Camp property also includes a high purity limestone (calcium carbonate) deposit which has proven suitable for use as a raw material in the manufacturing of cement and for use in high brightness applications such as those required in the paper industry.

http://www.nordresources.com/operations/johnson/pgallery.html Coyote Springs Project The Coyote Spring Property contains the same surface rocks as found at the Safford Dos Pobres deposit, namely volcanics intruded by Laramide porphyry copper veins and intrusive dike swarms. Oxide copper mineralization occurs on the surface in wide N60E trending shear zones that are also very similar to the nearby Safford Dos Pobres ore deposit. The Coyote Springs Property has strong porphyry copper alteration zoning, stockwork veins and anomalous copper.
The property contains large tonnage, porphyry copper targets, 1) that occur at depth, under surface exposures of stockwork copper oxide veins, 2) under younger volcanic cover, and 3) under unexplored, gravel covered areas. The missing faulted off-set of the Safford Dos Pobres ore deposit or another faulted ore deposit may exist on the Coyote Springs Property along the Foothill-Butte fault. The U.S. Geological Survey in Map I-1617 has identified Laramide porphyry dike swarms at the Coyote Springs Property. About 75% of the known copper ores in the Safford Mining District have been found along disseminations and fractures in the Safford Volcanics, and about 25% has been found in porphyritic intrusions. Similar rocks exist on the Coyote Springs Property.
Other Properties In addition to the Johnson Camp property, we have options to acquire interests in two exploration stage projects: Coyote Springs and the Texas Arizona Mines project, both located in Arizona. We are planning to conduct preliminary exploration activities at the Coyote Springs property to help us determine whether we should exercise the options, subject to the availability of sufficient financing for the exploration work. We do not believe that any of these properties are material to our overall operations at this time.
