Alberta Star to Conduct a 'Megatem' Airborne Geophysical Survey on the MacInnis Lake Uranium Project in Canada's Northwest Territories.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Alberta Star Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ASK)(OTCBB:ASXSF) -

Tim Coupland, President and CEO of Alberta Star Development Corp. (ASX), listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (ASX) and on the OTCBB (ASXSF), is pleased to announce that the company will conduct a Fugro deep penetrating airborne electromagnetic geophysical ("MEGATEM") survey on the company's MacInnis Lake uranium project. The airborne survey is expected to begin shortly, using a specially modified Dash-7 aircraft and will cover a total of 951 line kilometers, which are being flown along east-west oriented lines spaced at 200 meter spacings. Jan Klein, M.Sc., P.Eng., P.Geo., the company's consulting geophysicist, will review and compile all of the data generated from the geophysical survey. The large scale and high transmitter power of the proprietary "Megatem" system allows for deep penetrating exploration in the search for unconformity type uranium deposits associated with graphitic y conductors in the basement. Results from the geophysical survey combined with archived historical drill results will assist the company in its drill targeting and expanding known uranium showings on the project. Summer exploration activities will include follow up ground geophysics and diamond drilling. Erik Ostensoe P.Geo., is the Qualified Person for the MacInnis Lake uranium project.

MACINNIS LAKE URANIUM PROJECT ("UNCONFORMITY OR BASEMENT HOSTED URANIUM SETTING")

The MacInnis Lake uranium claim block located in the Nonacho Basin 150 km northeast of Fort Smith, Northwest Territories and 275 km southeast of the city of Yellowknife, consists of 26,184.64 acres. The MacInnis lake Uranium project is considered as an unconformity or basement hosted deposit setting. Unconformity-related uranium deposits can be extremely high grade and can average 10%+, and this is the setting for the vast majority of deposits in the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan. The MacInnis Lake uranium claim block is known to have widespread surface uranium mineralization, and contains 28 high grade uranium showings that were drill discovered between 1954 and 1988. All uranium exploration and drilling datasets have been archived and recorded by the Geological Survey of Canada. Alberta Star's management believes the MacInnis Lake area has the potential to host a world-class, economic uranium deposit, similar to those at Saskatchewan's McArthur River and Cigar Lake. The Macinnis Lake uranium project currently has over 100 historical uranium drill- hole results. These drill holes were successfully completed by Canadian Pipelines and Petroleum Ltd and Scurry-Rainbow Oil Ltd., between 1954 and 1988. The highest uranium values intersected in drill core at the Dussault Showing intersected 0.84% U308 over 2 feet. This high grade zone is more than 150 metres along strike and 60 metres at depth. Uranium mineralization rakes to the Northeast at 40 degree. This showing has been drill tested to a depth of 50 metres. The Ace Uranium showing was drill tested with 57 drill holes totaling 6,096 metres. Uranium mineralization was drill tested to a depth of 150 metres. A narrow, high grade uranium ore zone that was discovered is 50 metres in length and 6 metres wide, was outlined on the property. The world average grade from producing uranium mines is 0.15% U308. All historically archived drill data is available from the Northwest Territories Geoscience office of Research and Information. The company will be completing a National Instrument NI 43-101 compliant report on the property by a qualified person in late April. The historical data predates NI #43-101 standards and these estimates should not be relied upon.

MACINNIS LAKE URANIUM PROJECT - OPTION AGREEMENT MAX RESOURCES

Alberta Star has entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Max Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MXR) whereby Max can earn a 50% interest in Alberta Star's MacInnis Lake Uranium Project in Canada's Northwest Territories. Max Resource Corp. can earn its interest by making total cash payments of $30,000 to Alberta Star, incurring exploration expenditures totaling 2 Million dollars over five years and issuing 200,000 common shares. Alberta Star will be the operator of the project.
