Alberta Star Development Corp. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it proposes to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 2,333,333 flow-through units (“Units”) of the Company at a subscription price of $0.15 per Unit, for total gross proceeds of up to (Cdn) $350,000 (the “Offering”). Each Unit shall consist of one (1) common share (“Common Share”) to be issued on a “flow-through share” basis, in the share capital of the Company and one non flow-through common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Every Warrant is exercisable into one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.18 per share on or before twenty four months after the date of closing of the Offering. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about December 12, 2008.

The flow-through proceeds raised in this Offering will be used for Canadian exploration expenditures (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and will be renounced for the 2008 taxation year. The proposed issuance of Units is subject to the completion of formal documentation and receipt of regulatory approval, including the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

It is anticipated that certain officers, directors and insiders of the Company may subscribe under the private placement. As a result of the insiders’ participation, the private placement may be classified as a “related party transaction” as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The Company currently anticipates that it will be able to rely upon valuation exemptions contained in MI 61-101 or an equivalent exemption under applicable securities law.
