Alberta Star Development Corp. (the “Company”) listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (ASX) on the OTCBB (ASXSF), and on the Frankfurt Exchange (QLD) is pleased to report the results of the Company’s summer 2007 eight hole drill program at the Mag Hill target area. The Mag Hill target area is located at the southern end of Echo Bay, approximately 15 kilometers from the Eldorado uranium mine and 3 kilometers east of the Contact Lake silver & uranium mine. The company intercepted 3.0 meters of of 2.50% zinc, 0.22% lead and 1.60 g/ton silver in MH-07-07. MH-07-09 intersected 239.90 meters of 0.10% vanadium (as V2O5).

The Mag Hill target is the site of the most extensive hydrothermal magnetite-actinolite- feldspar-apatite plus sulphide alteration along the Contact Lake Mineral Belt in the northern part of the Great Bear Magmatic Zone. The host rocks are alkali (sodic or potassic) and or actinolite-epidote altered andesites. The core zone comprises a pervasive alkali feldspar-scapolite-magnetite-actinolite-apatite hydrothermal assemblage.

The Mag Hill area is being targeted for detailed IOCG & uranium exploration due to the notable similarities that exist between the Port Radium-Eldorado uranium mine region and the similarities that exist with the hydrothermal alteration, associated hydrothermal systems and the mineralization which has been encountered to date. The Mag Hill target area is defined by predominately pyrite mineralization, which is present intermittently throughout the Mag Hill region and in an extensive gossan at the southeast end of Echo Bay, with minor amounts of visible malachite. In addition, uranium, cobalt, nickel, copper, silver, lead and zinc enrichments are present locally as veins, veinlets and disseminations that extend outward in the southern and eastern extensions of the Mag Hill area. Drilling results from the Mag Hill target and the Port Radium targets, indicate that these target areas have the potential for uranium, base, precious metals and vanadium as a major commodity source. The area has a very strong and extensive magnetic anomaly that covers an area over 20 square kilometre and shows that the Mag Hill target is one of the largest hydrothermal systems in the Port Radium-Contact Lake mineral belt and has strong potential for IOCG style mineralization.

Highlights from mineralized down hole intervals from holes include:

MH-07-12 Intersected:

- 9.54 meters of 0.10% vanadium

All drill holes from Mag Hill have 225 degree azimuth with 41 to 50 degree inclination. The location of drill holes was selected based on the surface geophysical anomalies and to test these anomalies. The distance between drill holes were more than 135 meters.

The Company would also like to announce that holes SL-07-02 AND CL-07-01 did not encounter any significant mineralization during drilling.

The Company has now released 64 holes from its 72 hole 2007 Phase 2 drill program. The remaining 28 holes will be released when the assays have been received.

A QAQC (quality assurance, quality control) program conducted by the Company which consisted of the introduction of standard, duplicate, and blank samples introduced into the sample sequence at irregular and random intervals to test the sampling and assay procedures. Standard samples were prepared by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. (“Acme”) of Vancouver, British Columbia. All drill core samples were prepared, bagged and sealed by the Company’s supervised personnel and were transported by plane to Acme facilities in Yellowknife, NT where they were crushed and pulped, and then transported to Acme’s main laboratories in Vancouver, British Columbia for assaying. Acme is a fully registered analytical lab for analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-FA techniques. Samples were subjected to aqua regia digestion and analyzed for 40 elements and induced coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) following four acid digestions (HF, HCIO4, HNO3 and HCI). All analysis for Cu, Ag, Au, U, Co, Ni, Bi, Pb, Zn and W which exceeded upper limits were re-assayed using ICPFA method to obtain correct values.

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 98,027.77 acres in size. The Eldorado & Contact Lake IOCG & uranium project areas include five past producing high grade silver and uranium mines. This includes 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. 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 volcanic hosted hydrothermal iron-oxide copper, gold (IOCG) 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.
