Alberta Star has now made application for over 40,000 meters of diamond drilling in the Contact Lake and Eldorado IOCG & uranium district and has additional drilling applications being prepared for final submission.

The exploration program includes additional ground and airborne geophysics such as localized Induced Polarization/Resistivity (IP/Res) geophysics over selected portions of the high-amplitude magnetic anomalies, mapping and line-cutting, followed by a comprehensive 15,000 meter drill program at Contact Lake, targeting the high-priority areas. Additional drilling is currently being planned for other high priority targets in the Port Radium-Echo Bay district. The scheduled holes will be drilled to an average depth of 200-500 meters per-hole using a Boyles 25-A diamond drill. Drilling is expected to commence in mid to late April 2006. CONTACT LAKE-5 YEAR CLASS "A" DRILLING PERMIT ISSUED-FULLY PERMITTED AT CONTACT LAKE Alberta Star has been granted a five year Sahtu Land & Water Board Class "A" Land Use Permit for diamond drilling on the Contact Lake Project. The diamond drilling permit is valid until August 24, 2010. Alberta Star is the first mineral exploration company in over 10 years to receive a Class "A"-5 Year drill permit in the Great Bear Lake Sahtu Dene Land settlement area for mineral exploration and diamond drilling. Alberta Star is fully permitted for diamond drilling in the Sahtu Dene Land Settlement Area at Contact Lake. CONTACT LAKE IRON OXIDE COPPER, GOLD, SILVER AND URANIUM PROJECT The Contact Lake project is located 5 km southeast of Port Radium on the east side of Great Bear Lake Northwest Territories and 670 kilometers north of the city of Yellowknife. The total size of the Contact Lake project and surrounding area is over 51,473.96 acres in size. The Contact Lake Project is located 5 kilometers from 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 Contact Lake Mine is a former past producer of silver and high grade uranium. The Contact Lake Mineral belt encompasses an extremely mineral rich portion of the Great Bear Magmatic Zone, as evidenced from the production records of five former past producing silver and uranium mines in the area. 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 Alberta Star's land package ownership. Alberta Star is the first mineral exploration company in 75 years to successfully stake, acquire and control one entirely contiguous land package in this mineral rich region. The Echo Bay-Contact Lake Mineral Belt is approximately 15 kilometers long and is recognized by geologists, as one of the most prospective Iron oxide copper, gold, silver and uranium regions located anywhere in the world. The current spot price for uranium is now $40.50 US as of March 21, 2006.
