Alberta Star Announces 3.5 Kilometer Long Radiometric Anomaly And Application For A 75,000 Meter Drill Permit On Its Eldorado South Uranium Claims

April 25, 2007

Alberta Star Development Corp. (the “Company”) listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (ASX) and on the OTCBB (ASXSF), is pleased to announce the discovery of a large highly prospective radiometric anomaly (the “Eldorado South Anomaly”) on the Company’s 100% wholly owned Eldorado South uranium claims situated south of the former Eldorado Uranium Mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The uranium claims consist of sixteen contiguous claims located south of the Eldorado uranium mine on the east side of Great Bear Lake, NT and consist of 15,055.31 hectares (37,202.32 acres).(News Release March 26, 2007) The Eldorado South Anomaly is over 3.5 kilometers in length and the expression suggests a potential near surface uranium target. The radiometric profiles show a clear well defined anomaly with a marked correlation of strong thorium (Th) and potassium (k) ratio patterns. The Eldorado South Anomaly has never been explored nor drill tested and will be an important focus of exploration by the Company in 2007. The Eldorado South Anomaly was discovered as a result of the completion of a High resolution, Multi-Parameter Regional Radiometric and Magnetic geophysical survey which was conducted in July, 2006 and consisted of 16,708 line-kilometers at 100 meter line-spacing’s and was completed under hot, sunny and dry weather conditions. The purpose of the radiometric survey was to measure the gamma radiation field and locate prospective areas of uranium and poly-metallic deposition.

The Company intends to begin a detailed regional reconnaissance scale sampling, soil sampling, prospecting and mapping program on the newly discovered Eldorado South Anomaly. The Company intends to accelerate its uranium and poly-metallic exploration and drilling activities on all of its properties in 2007. The Company has now completed the review of its 2006 radiometric data and has completed its uranium database of high priority drill targets for 2007. The Company expects to begin ground truthing the Eldorado South Anomaly in May 2007 with the results being released thereafter.

NEW PERMIT APPLICATION FOR A 75,000 METER DRILL PROGRAM – ELDORADO SOUTH IOCG & URANIUM BELT-THIRD DRILL PERMIT SUBMITTED

The Company has submitted a formal application for a 75,000 meter “5-Year” drill permit from the Sahtu Land and Water Board (SLWB) which includes the area of the Eldorado South Anomaly. The permit application is requesting 15,000 meters of drilling per year, over a five-year period for a total of 75,000 meters. The Company has completed a comprehensive First Nations Traditional Educational Knowledge Report for this region which was completed to the satisfaction of the Deline Land Corporation and the Community of Deline. The Company intends to further expand wildlife and environmental programs and baseline studies in the Eldorado & Contact Lake uranium districts as the projects advance. On December 19, 2005 the Company signed a 5 Year Cooperation, Access and Benefits Agreement with the Deline Land Corp and the Sahtu Dene & Metis for the eastern Great Bear Lake Region. The Sahtu Land and Water Board (SLWB) is currently reviewing and overseeing the issuance of “Class A- 5 year drill permit”. The Company is currently permitted under two existing “5-year” drill permits for over 40,000 meters of diamond drilling for the Eldorado & Contact Lake IOCG & uranium projects.

The Company’s President and CEO Tim Coupland commented, “We are extremely pleased with the new discovery of this large new radiometric anomaly that broadens the potential uranium footprint of the district.” The decision was made to immediately permit this prospective uranium target for exploration up to 75,000 meters of drilling for the 2007-08 seasons. The radiometric profile of this newly discovered anomaly is large and quite pronounced. The Company intends to prepare this prospective uranium target for drilling this summer after it completes reconnaissance and detailed sampling and mapping programs”.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION COMPLETED-APRIL 16, 2007

In its effort to maintain strong relations and working relationship with the Deline Land Corp. and the people of Deline Sahtu-Dene First Nations peoples in the Great Bear Region, the Company visited and participated in a comprehensive Community Consultation on April 16, 2007 in the community of Deline, NT. The Company made a detailed presentation to the community of the Company’s results of a successful 2006 exploration & drilling program and the Company’s plans for expanded exploration and drilling in the 2007 season. The Company addressed various environmental issues, environmental best practices management strategy, sustainable development philosophy and its policy of First Nations community outreach and development in the Sahtu Region. The Company continues to maintain strong relations and a solid working relationship with the Deline Land Corp. and the people of Deline Sahtu-Dene First Nations. The Company places the long term relationship and well-being of the Community of Deline, as the cornerstone to a successful working relationship and a corporate priority, governing its long-term principles with regard to the responsible sustainable development in the Sahtu Region.

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 87,706 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. The five past producing silver and uranium mines include the Echo Bay Silver Mine, Eldorado Uranium Mine, Contact Lake Silver and Uranium Mine, Bonanza and El Bonanza Silver and Uranium mines and are now included within the Company’s land package ownership. 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. The Eldorado Mineral Belt has long been recognized by geologists, as one of the most prospective Iron oxide copper, gold, silver and Uranium regions in northern Canada. The current Monday April 24, 2007 spot price for uranium provided by The Ux Consulting Company LLC (www.uxc.com) is now $113.00 US per pound.
