Alberta Star Development Corp. (the “Company”), listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and on the OTCBB (ASXSF), is pleased to announce that the Company has appointed Foraco Drilling Ltd. (“Foraco”), as drill contractor for the Eldorado & Contact Lake IOCG & uranium Projects. Foraco (formally Connor’s Drilling Ltd.) is a subsidiary of Foraco International a drilling company that has provided international drilling expertise and services to the mining industry. Two heli-portable Boyles BBS-25A (71 Series) drilling rigs have been successfully mobilized to the Eldorado & Contact Lake Field Camps for the 2007 drilling program which is expected to continue into the fall of 2007. The Company intends to use the heli-portable drill rigs as they believe they are a preferable choice in environmentally sensitive areas of Canada’s Arctic regions. The drill program is scheduled to be a full season of base, precious metal and uranium diamond drilling. The Company is now in receipt of all the required permits to undertake its 2007 drill program and implement its long-term mineral exploration and drilling strategy which was developed prior to the rapid rise of base, precious metals and uranium metal prices. The Company intends to begin accelerating its uranium and poly-metallic exploration and drilling activities on all of its drill targets for 2007. Follow up exploration drilling based on the Company’s previous drill programs will focus on expanding newly discovered zones, determining continuity and orientation, locating higher grade extensions of mineralization, and preliminary testing of the remaining, untested mineralized and altered zones within the project areas.

ELDORADO & CONTACT LAKE-5 YEAR CLASS “A” DRILLING PERMITS ISSUEDFULLY PERMITTED FOR 2007

The Company has been granted two five-year Sahtu Land & Water Board Class “A” Land Use Permits (Eldorado/Glacier Lake and Contact Lake) for diamond drilling at both the Eldorado & Contact Lake Projects. The Eldorado/Glacier Lake permit is valid until April 26, 2011 and the Contact Lake permit is valid until August 24, 2010. The Company has also submitted a formal application for a third drill permit to the Sahtu Land and Water Board (SLWB). This third “5- Year” drill permit application has requested 15,000 meters of drilling per year, over a five-year period for a total of 75,000 meters which includes the area of the recently discovered Eldorado South radiometric anomaly. This prospective uranium target is being prepared for reconnaissance and detailed sampling, mapping and drilling in 2007.

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 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 11, 2007 spot price for uranium provided by the Ux Consulting Company LLC (www.uxc.com) was $120.00 US per pound
