Alberta Star Completes Staking and Acquisition of Additional Uranium Mineral Claims at Eldorado West

September 14, 2007

Alberta Star Development Corp., (the “Company”) listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (ASX) and on the OTCBB (ASXSF), is pleased to announce that the Company has staked a number of new and highly prospective uranium targets after reviewing the results of the Company’s recently completed Regional High Resolution Aeromagnetic Gradiometer-radiometric Survey over the Eldorado & Contact Lake uranium belts (NR Aug 30, 2006). The Eldorado West uranium claims consist of four claims west of the 100% wholly owned Eldorado South uranium claims located south of the Eldorado uranium mine on the east side of Great Bear Lake, NT and 423 miles north of the city of Yellowknife, and consists of 4,177.09 hectares (10,321.77 acres). The recent staking activity increases the size of the Company’s regional land portfolio to over 39,671.83 hectares (98,027.77 acres).

The Company is currently undertaking its 2007 Phase-2 IOCG & Uranium Drilling Program which is designed to expand recently discovered mineralized zones, determining continuity and orientation, locating higher grade extensions of IOCG and uranium mineralization, and preliminary testing of the remaining, untested mineralized and altered zones within the Eldorado & Contact Lake project areas.

The Eldorado & Contact Lake regions and are characterized by poly-metallic mineralization that may be amenable to either bulk tonnage or underground poly-metallic mining techniques.

RE-PRICES STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s Board of Directors has resolved to re-price an aggregate of 3,250,000 stock options previously granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company of which 1,825,000 stock options were granted to directors and senior officers of the Company. The Board of Directors has resolved to re-price options from $1.57 per share to $0.85 per share and extend the original two year expiry date to three years. Each re-priced option represents the right to purchase one common share of the Company at an option price of $0.85 per share for a period of three years. The option amendments are subject to disinterested shareholder and TSX Venture Exchange approval.

THE ELDORADO URANIUM MINE - ELDORADO URANIUM DISTRICT

The Eldorado Uranium Mine formerly mined and produced 15 million pounds of uranium at an average head grade of 0.75% U308 and 8 million ounces of silver plus, copper, nickel, radium, polonium and lead at the Eldorado - Port Radium area commencing in 1933. (Normin NTGO: SENES Report 2005) The Eldorado Mine has approximately 25 miles of existing underground workings developed on fourteen levels and was formerly one of Canada’s principal producers of high grade uranium pitchblende concentrates from the 1930’s to the 1960’s. The Echo Bay mine produced over 23,779,178 million ounces of silver at an average head grade of approximately 66 ounces per ton prior to its closure in 1982.

The Company has assembled an experienced IOCG & uranium technical team with advanced uranium exploration expertise, whom believe the Eldorado & Contact Lake district has the potential to host both Olympic Dam and volcanic hosted styles of copper, gold, and uranium deposits. The current September 14, 2007 spot price for uranium provided by the Ux Consulting Company LLC (www.uxc.com) is now $90.00 US per pound
