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 announce that all assay data has been received and compiled from its 2008 drilling program on its Eldorado/Contact Lake Projects in the Northwest Territories. During the 2008 summer program, seventeen drill holes were completed for a total of 2,348 meters drilled. The drill hole program followed-up on 2007 drilling on the Skinny Lake and K-2 target areas and tested three new target areas, K-4, Long Bay, and Gossan Island.

SKINNY LAKE AREA

The Skinny Lake target area, approximately 16 kilometers southeast of the Eldorado/Echo Bay uranium-silver mines, is a northwest trending zone of sulfide (gossan) mineralization. The host rocks are a sequence of andesitic tuff and flows showing strong phyllic alteration at higher levels and magnetite-actinolite-apatite alteration at depth. The 2008 drill program consisted of five holes for a total of 1,005 meters at the Skinny Lake target area. Drill holes SL-08-03, -04, -05, and -06 targeted a strong sulfide (gossan) zone and followed-up on drill hole SL-07-01 which intersected 22.50 meters (true width not determined) of 2% zinc, 18.35 g/tonne silver and 0.025% cobalt (see NR of January 18, 2008 results). All five holes of the program intercepted zones of zinc-silver mineralization (see highlights below). Drill hole SL-08-07 targeted the down dip extension of outcropping copper mineralization within a strong alkali-magnetite altered zone.

K-2 TARGET AREA

The K2 target area is located in the south-central portion of the Contact Lake project area, on the south side of Echo Bay on the Contact Lake property. The area is approximately 9 kilometres southeast of the Eldorado/Echo Bay uranium-silver mines and consists of multiple zones of altered, mineralized breccias. The 2008 drilling program in the K2 area consisted of three holes for a total of 803 meters that followed-up on the 2006 and 2007 drill programs that discovered disseminated and vein hosted copper and other sulfide mineralization. Drill hole K2-08-21 only encountered altered rock but only sparse mineralization. Drill holes K2-08-20 and -22 intercepted multiple zones of altered and mineralized breccias with disseminated and vein hosted copper mineralization.

K4-URANIUM TARGET AREA:

The K4 target area is located approximately 2 kilometers east-southeast of the Eldorado/Echo Bay uranium-silver mines. Sampling and mapping indicated potential for high-grade uranium veins along east to northeast trending fractures in andesitic tuffs and breccias within zones of strong potassic-hematitic alteration. The 2008 drilling program at the K4 uranium target area consisted of six holes for a total of 536 meters. Drill hole K4-08-01, 08-02, 08-03 located near the west end of the target area, intercepted numerous intervals of significant copper-silver mineralization with some intervals accompanied by anomalous uranium. Drill holes K4-08-04, and 08-05 located in the central part of the target area, intercepted a number of intervals of significant copper-silver mineralization (see highlights below). Drill hole K4-08-06, at the east end of the target area, encountered only scattered mineralization.

LONG BAY AREA

At the Long Bay target area located approximately 1.5 kilometers northwest of the Eldorado/Echo Bay uranium-silver mines, sampling and mapping indicated potential for uranium within a stockwork vein system along an east-west trending structure in andesitic tuffs with strong hematitic alteration. Two drill holes, LB-08-01 and LB-08-02, were completed for a total of 125 meters in the Long Bay area. LB-08-02 intercepted andesitic tuffs and breccias with strong hematitic alteration with minor scattered sulfides. Drill hole LB-08-01 intercepted an unmapped diabase dike but returned anomalous copper values along fractures zones.

LB-08-01 had an azimuth of 147 and an inclination of 45. LB-08-01 had an azimuth of 170 and an inclination of 45.

GOSSAN ISLAND AREA:

The Gossan Island target, located approximately 5 kilometers southeast of the Eldorado/Echo Bay uranium-silver mines, consists of zones of moderate to strong gossanous, argillic-potassic altered, pyroclastic rocks. One reconnaissance drill hole, GI-08-01, was completed for a total of 147 meters on the Gossan island target area. Drill hole GH-08-01 targeted a strong gossanous zone, and possible vein system. The drill hole intercepted highly brecciated, strong hematitic-potassic altered, andesitic tuff accompanied by scattered sulfides, but only one interval with anomalous silver was encountered.

(Note: True widths of intercepts have not been determined.)

All mapping, surface sampling, and drill-hole data from the 2008 drilling program are being compiled and integrated into the Company’s database. During the Fall/Winter of 2008 the Company is planning a thorough review of the numerous IOCG, uranium and polymetallic vein targets it has developed during the past three exploration seasons.

The Company continues to review and reduce its exploration and overhead costs, ensuring that the Company’s capital is preserved until the financial markets stabilize in this unprecedented financial downturn. The Company continues to review and pursue advanced stage economic mineral deposits as well as other opportunities. The Company has no debt.

The Company feels that the corporate funds are better used to seek and acquire strategic alternatives and opportunities which are being presented to Alberta Star. In today’s turbulent market, it is cheaper to buy production than to explore and drill for production and resources.

Alberta Star is currently reviewing a number of advanced stage mineral exploration projects that meet the Company’s corporate acquisition criteria, of acquiring established resource opportunities with infrastructure, with cash flow or near term cash flow potential and advanced stage exploration potential. Due to the current unrest in global market conditions, the Company has elected to conserve its treasury and target the many unique opportunities that exist for well financed companies like Alberta Star, to acquire high quality mineral assets at very attractive valuations. The Company has been conserving cash, reducing costs and reducing its field operations, for some time now, and is now in a position to capitalize with the current deep and protracted downturn in the global capital markets.

THE ELDORADO/CONTACT LAKE PROJECT:

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 kilometres north of the city of Yellowknife. The total size of the Eldorado & Contact Lake Permit area covers over 116,633 acres. The Eldorado/Contact project areas include past producing high grade silver and uranium mines. The Contact Lake and Eldorado districts are being targeted by the Company for silver, copper, uranium, and polymetallic mineralization. The mineralization occurs within the same suite of volcano-plutonic rocks that host other polymetallic zones in the Eldorado and Contact Lake Mineral Belt, including the former Bonanza and El Bonanza Silver mines and the Eldorado and Contact Lake Uranium (plus-Ag-Cu-Co-Ni-Bi) mines. Veins of the former Eldorado and Echo Bay silver & uranium mines are situated in tuff/metasedimentary rocks, near the margins and apices of porphyry stocks of the Great Bear Magmatic Zone. 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.

ALBERTA STAR DEVELOPMENT CORP.:

Alberta Star is a Canadian mineral exploration company that identifies, acquires, finances advanced stage mineral exploration projects in Canada and the United States. The Company is committed to creating long term shareholder value through the discovery of base and precious metals and uranium.
