The management of Alberta Star met with members of the Deline Land Corporation to confirm the current status of its Access & Benefits Agreement with the Deline Land Corporation representing the Sahtu & Métis people of Deline, Deline District, Great Bear Lake, NT. The meeting established that the “Access & Benefits Agreement” will be honoured by both signatories to the agreement, Alberta Star and the Deline Land Corp.. Attending the meeting were Peter Menacho, President Deline Land Corporation, Raymond Tutcho, Chief of the Sahtu Dene (Deline District), Leonard Kenny, Director, Danny Gaudet, Chief Negotiator & Deline Self Government Team, Orlena Modeste, Environmental and Uranium advisor and Morris Neyelle, Uranium advisor, Deline First Nation. As well, the Deline Land Corporation reiterated that Alberta Stars two “Class A” drill permits are in good standing and all aspects of the Company’s permits will be honoured.

Peter Menacho, newly elected President of the Deline Land Corporation stated: “We continue to strongly support Alberta Star’s exploration, technical and management capabilities and its progressive business initiatives being employed in the Sahtu region. Alberta Star has been an outstanding corporate citizen and has honored all its signed agreements and obligations with the Deline Land Corp. who represents the Sahtu district. The Sahtu Dene & Metis peoples and First Nation businesses have benefited from our continued friendship and partnership with Alberta Star and its management team. We look forward to continue working closely with the Company in the coming years”.

Alberta Star is one of the largest employers in the Sahtu district. One third of all exploration expenditures in the Sahtu District of the Northwest Territories were directly attributed to Alberta Star’s regional exploration programs.

Tim Coupland, President & CEO of Alberta Star Development Corp. commented: “This is another vote of confidence for Alberta Star enhancing the Company’s probability of success in this remote region of Canada. The Company has created a strong, long term partnership and working relationship with the Deline Land Corp. and the Sahtu Dene & Metis peoples of the Deline District, NT. The Company considers its long term relationship and the well being of the community of Deline, as the cornerstone to a successful and long term working relationship with the Sahtu Dene & Metis peoples.

The Company’s management continues to work tirelessly to engage, inform and address all of the relevant issues with the Sahtu Dene peoples through a process of extensive consultation and ongoing dialogue. This consultation process was designed to educate and highlight the various growth phases of both the Eldorado & Contact Lake IOCG & uranium Projects and the long term opportunities and benefits associated with the successful development of the Projects. The Company views the continued endorsement of these two Class “A” permit amendments as confirmation of the Company’s long term policy strategy of responsible and sustainable development. These development philosophies combined with First Nations community outreach programs have created a strong partnership and working relationship with the Deline Land Corp. and the Sahtu Dene & Metis peoples of Deline, NT.

Permitting - Sustainable Permitting Strategies

The Company has implemented sound business models for the long term sustainable development for the Sahtu region in the Northwest Territories. The Company gives its unwavering support to the NWT Chamber of Mines and its pro-mining exploration initiatives and the implementation of more reasonable permitting strategies by Federal and Territorial governments on grass-roots exploration projects. The Company feels this is pivotal to industry and essential to long term sustainable and responsible growth of the region.

Eldorado & Contact Lake-5 Year Class “A” Drilling Permits Issued-Fully Permitted And Honoured For 2008

The Company has been granted two new amended five-year Sahtu Land & Water Board Class “A” Land Use Permits amendments (Eldorado/Glacier Lake and Contact Lake) for long term diamond drilling at both the Eldorado & Contact Lake Projects. The Eldorado/Glacier Lake Permit (Permit No. SO5C-012) is valid until April 26, 2013 and the Contact Lake permit (Permit No.S05C-002) is valid until August 24, 2012. The amended Eldorado & Glacier Lake permit authorizes up to 100,000 meters of drilling and the amended Contact Lake Permit authorizes up to 100,000 meters of drilling and collectively the permits cover an area of over 98,027.77 acres. The two five year Class “A” drill permit amendments were submitted to the Sahtu Land & Water Board in January 2007 and were approved and issued on June 6, 2007.

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 subject to receipt of the third drill permit, drilling in 2008.

The Eldorado & Contact Lake Iron Oxide Copper, Gold, Silver And Uranium Projects

The Eldorado & Contact Lake Permit Areas are located on the east side of Great Bear Lake in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The permit areas are situated 470 kilometers north of the city of Yellowknife. The total size of the Eldorado & Contact Lake Permit area covers over 39,671.83 hectares (98,027.77 acres) in size. The Eldorado & Contact IOCG + uranium project areas include six past producing high grade silver and uranium mines. These include the Echo Bay Silver Mine which produced 23,779,178 ounces of silver and the Eldorado Uranium Mine which produced 15 million pounds of uranium and 8 million ounces of silver (Normin NTGO: Senes Report 2005). The Contact Lake Silver and Uranium Mine, Bonanza and El Bonanza Silver and Uranium mines are included within the Company’s land ownership package. Olympic Dam style volcanic-hosted hydrothermal iron-oxide copper, gold style of deposits are attractive targets for exploration and development due to their poly-metallic nature, high unit value and enormous size and grade tonnage potential. The Eldorado Mineral Belt which is situated in the Great Bear Magmatic Zone, NT, has long been recognized by geologists as one of the most prospective iron oxide copper, gold, silver and uranium regions in northern Canada.
