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 been advised by the Surveyor-General’s office of the Department of Natural Resources that the Company’s Legal Survey to Lease at the Glacier Lake uranium claims has been formally approved. The Survey to Lease was performed in accordance with Canadian Mining Regulations by Sub-Arctic Surveys Ltd. of Yellowknife , NT on behalf of the Company. The survey area completed consists of 1821.08 hectares (4,500 acres) and increases the Company’s 100 % lease ownership of this prospective uranium bearing land package. The newly approved leases are adjacent to the Eldorado Uranium Mine- Lease Claims, which are also included within the Company’s land holdings. The Eldorado uranium leases were formally owned by Eldorado Mining and Refining Ltd., a former producer of uranium and Federal Crown Company from 1944 to 1960. The Company has now completed and received approval from the Canadian Department of Natural Resources on a total of three Legal Land Surveys on the Company’s properties. The surveyed lease claims include the Eldorado Uranium Mine Lease Claims, Glacier Lake Lease Claims and the Contact Lake Mine Lease Claims.

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% U 3 0 8 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 Uranium 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 received a detailed technical library of property reports, datasets, historical data, drill logs, historical production records and uranium assay reports pertaining to the Eldorado uranium leases, which were formally owned by Eldorado Mining and Refining Ltd.

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 May 8, 2007 spot price for uranium provided by the Ux Consulting Company LLC (www.uxc.com) is now $120.00 US per pound
