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 the assay results from the summer/fall six hole drill program at the Glacier Creek IOCG and uranium target. The Glacier Creek drill program was designed to evaluate the silver, uranium and poly-metallic potential of this newly emerging mineralized region. The Glacier Creek IOCG and uranium target is located on the Company’s Glacier Lake property situated 2 km east of Port Radium.

The Company has intersected 5.80 meters of 1.16% copper in drill hole GC-07-02 at the Glacier Creek zone at Contact Lake in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Drill hole number GC-07-01 intercepted 6.0 meters of 0.39% copper.

The Company believes that the results of the drill holes from the Glacier Creek target and the drill holes from the Echo Bay Program confirm the extensive nature of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization in the Port Radium-Echo Bay-Contact Lake poly-metallic belt. All drill cores from the Glacier Creek target 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 compliant with the International Standards Organization (ISO) for quality assurance.

Highlights from mineralized down-hole intervals reporting:

GC-07-01 Intersected:

• 6.0 meters of 0.39% copper

GC-07-02 Intersected:

• 5.80 meters of 1.16% copper including 1.04 meters of 2.99% copper and 8 g/ton silver and another 1.0 meter of 1.48% copper and 4.3 g/ton silver
• 2.40 meters of 0.61% copper
• 2.60 meters of 0.33% copper
• 3.75 meters of 0.31% copper

GC-07-06 Intersected:

• 1.50 meters of 46.2 g/ton silver

The Contact Lake & Eldorado district is being targeted by the Company for silver and uranium and poly-metallic exploration. The mineralization occurs within the same suite of volcano-plutonic rocks that host other poly-metallic zones in the Eldorado & Contact lake mineral belt, including the former El Bonanza Silver (Ag) and the Eldorado Uranium (U-Ag-Cu-Co-Ni-Bi) mines. Veins of the former Eldorado and Echo Bay mines are situated in metasedimentary rocks, near the margins and apices of porphyry stocks, between underlying batholiths and overlying volcanic rocks. The cores and intermediate zones of the hydrothermal systems that are responsible for these veins are possible loci for larger, more typical, bulk-mineable IOCG-type deposits. Additional drill results are pending and will be released when the Company receives them.

The accompanying table gives a summary of drilling highlights and assay results returned from drill holes reporting from the Glacier Creek target at Contact Lake, NT.

All 6 holes at Glacier Creek have 135 degree azimuth and 45 degree inclination. GC-07-01, GC-07-02 and GC-07-03 were drilled in a NE-SW trending row with 55 meters distance between GC-07-01 and GC-07-02, and 70 meters distance between GC-07-02 and GC-07-03. Drill holes GC-07-04 and GC-07-05 were drilled in a row, 180 meters away and parallel to the above row with 200 meters distance between two holes. Drill hole GC-07-06 was drilled 665 meters NW of the GC-07-05.

The Company has now reported the results on 50 of its 72 hole drill program for 2007. The Company is currently awaiting results on a further 22 holes as well as additional assays from its regional sampling program.

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 acres in size. The Eldorado & Contact IOCG + uranium project areas include 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 (Normin NTGO: Senes Report 2005). The Contact Lake Silver and Uranium Mine, Bonanza and El Bonanza Silver and Uranium mines and 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.
