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 that the Company has received assay results from the final four holes of a seventeen hole drill program from the 2007 summer/fall drill program at the Camelback IOCG & uranium target. The Company encountered 3.0 meters of 25.3 g/ton silver in drill hole number CB-07-08.

The 2007 drilling program has confirmed additional poly-metallic IOCG style mineralization at the Camelback target. The Company has intersected multiple zones of poly-metallic mineralization that is associated with zones of strong hydrothermal alteration and brecciation that are locally enriched in silver, copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, and vanadium. Multiple zones of sulfide mineralization outcrop in semi-continuous gossanous zones for over 3.5 kilometers in length. The Camelback IOCG & uranium target is approximately 3.5 kilometers in length and 1 kilometer in width. This large IOCG target extends from the north end of Glacier Lake to the eastern shore of Cameron Bay. The Camelback target is located 7.5 km east of the old Eldorado uranium mine. The Company believes that the results from the current drill program confirm the extensive nature of hydrothermal alteration and poly-metallic mineralization associated within the Camelback target. The presence of quartz-hematite-uranium veins indicates that widespread uranium and IOCG style mineralization is present at the Camelback target.

Highlights from mineralized down-hole intervals from the Camelback target:

• CB-07-07 intersected 2.8 meters of 11.88 g/ton silver and 1.5 meters of 20.90 g/ton silver.
• CB-07-08 intersected 3.0 meters of 25.3 g/ton silver including 1.5 meters of 36.4 g/ton silver.
• CB-07-12 intersected 16.45 meters of 0.12% copper.

The accompanying table gives a summary of drilling highlights and assay results returned from the final four drill holes at the Camelback target. The Company has now reported the results of 54 of 72 drill holes that were drilled during the 2007 summer and fall drilling campaign.

Drill Summary

Metal values as at today’s market price. Gold $929.50 US per ounce, Copper $3.95 US per pound, Silver $17.97 US per ounce, Cobalt $52.25 US per pound, Zinc $1.04 US per pound, Lead $1.29 US per pound, Nickel $12.99 US per pound, Vanadium $13.00 US per pound, and Uranium $71.00 US per pound as of April 10, 2008.

Note: True thickness is unknown.

CB-07-09 was drilled out of the strongly mineralized zone and shows no significant mineralization.

Azimuth and inclination for CB-07-3, CB-07-7 and CB-07-8 are 225 degrees and 50 degrees, respectively. CB-07-12 has 225 degree azimuth and 45 degrees inclination. There are three NESW trending drilling rows at Camelback: first row includes drill holes CB-07-01 to CB-07-09 with 200 meter spacing between adjacent holes. Drill holes CB-07-10 and CB-07-16 are located at 400 meters SE and 550 meters NW of the first row, respectively. The second row includes drill holes CB-07-11, CB-07-12 and CB-07-15 at 2375 meters SE of the first row. The third row includes drill holes CB-07-13 and CB-07-14 at 600 meters SE of the second row.

All drill core samples were prepared, bagged and sealed by the Company’s supervised personnel and were transported by plane to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. (“ACME”) 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. All samples were analyzed for a wide spectrum of minerals Mo, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Ni, Co, Mn, Fe, As, U, Au, Th, Sr, Cd, Sb, Bi, V, Ca, P, La, Cr, Mg, Ba, Ti, Al, Na, K, W, Zr, Ce, Sn, Y, Nb, Ta, Be, Sc, Li, S and Rb by inductivity coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) following a four acid digestion (HF, HClO4, HNO3 and HCl). All analyses for Cu, Ag, Au, U, Co, Ni, Bi, Pb, Zn and W which exceeded upper limits were reassayed using the ICPFA method to validate 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 IOCG Project area includes two past producing high grade silver and uranium mines, 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. Olympic Dam style volcanic hosted hydrothermal iron-oxide copper, gold deposits are attractive targets for exploration and development due to their poly-metallic nature, high unit value and enormous size and grade tonnage potential.
