Alberta Star Development Corp. (the “Company”) listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (ASX) on the OTCBB (ASXSF) and the Frankfurt exchange (QLD), and is pleased to provide an update of the Company’s corporate and exploration milestones achieved in 2007.

 

 

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS-2007

 

  • The Company added CDN $5,134,650 to its working capital through warrant and option exercises and has a current cash balance of CDN $23,000,000 in its treasury.

 

  • The Company has no direct exposure to asset backed commercial paper (ABCP) and is debt free.

 

  • The Company completed the staking of several new and prospective uranium targets based on the Company’s review of the results of the Company’s Regional High Resolution Aeromagnetic Gradiometric-radiometric Survey over the Eldorado and Contact Lake uranium belts. The Eldorado South uranium claims consist of sixteen contiguous claims and encompass 37,202.32 acres which increased Alberta Star’s land portfolio to 87,706 acres. The Eldorado south anomaly is over 3.5 kilometers in length and the expression suggests a near surface uranium target. The Eldorado South uranium anomaly has never been explored nor drill tested and will be an important focus of exploration by the Company in 2008.

 

  • The Company completed the staking of the Eldorado West claims. The Eldorado West claims comprise 10,321.77 acres increasing the Company’s land portfolio to 98,027.77 acres.

 

  • The Company has filed all of the required property assessment work with the Mine Recorders Office in Yellowknife and all of its claims. The Company’s leases are all in good standing.

 

  • The Deline Land Corporation representing Deline First Nations recently (December 2007) passed a resolution which placed a moratorium on any further uranium exploration or development on Deline District Lands while announcing that “All existing agreements between the Deline Land Corporation and mineral and uranium exploration companies who conduct work upon our lands will be honored.” The Company’s has signed a formal “Co-operation and Access & Benefit Agreements” with the Deline Land Corp., and senior Legal Counsel representing the Deline Land Corp has confirmed that all of Alberta Star’s permits are being fully honored.

 

  • The Company’s senior management has worked hard to create a strong partnership and working relationship with the Deline Land Corp. and the Sahtu Dene & Metis peoples of the Deline District, NT. The Company considers long term sustainable development and our association and the well being of the community of Deline, as the cornerstone of a successful and long term working relationship. Alberta Star was the very first Canadian Mineral exploration Company to negotiate, complete and sign a Co-operation and Benefits Agreement with the Sahtu Dene & Metis in this remote region.

 

  • The Company is aggressively pursuing advanced stage property acquisitions and strategic joint venture opportunities for growth in 2008 in North America and Latin America. Discussions are ongoing.

 

  • The Company’s shares began trading on the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol QLD to augment its listings on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V-ASX) and the OTCBB-ASXSF on the US market. The Company is currently listed on three separate Exchanges.

 

  • The Company engaged MI3 Communication Financier Inc., a full service investor relations and corporate communications company to increase shareholder awareness in Eastern Canada and the Northeastern United States. The Company intends to increase its visibility and exposure to Canadian, US and world markets.

 

 

EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS

 

  • The Company successfully completed its phase 2, CDN $ 12,000,000 drill program at Eldorado- Contact Lake. The Company completed almost 20,000 meters of drilling in 72 drill holes and collected over 10,000 surface samples.

 

  • The Company has reported on 21 drill holes and is currently awaiting the receipt of assay results on the balance of drill holes as well as the surface samples.

 

  • The Company continued to expand its Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) and Uranium discoveries at K2, Eldorado, Echo Bay, Echo Bay South, Mile Lake and Contact Lake exploration targets.

 

  • The Company discovered a new polymetallic discovery at Skinny Lake grading 22.50 meters of 2.24% zinc, 0.23% lead and 18.35 g/ton silver.

 

  • The Company completed preliminary metal recovery tests conducted on samples of uranium, silver, copper, nickel and cobalt tailings from the Eldorado & Echo Bay silver and uranium mines conducted by SGS Lakefield Research Ltd. The Eldorado & Echo Bay tailings yielded up to a 93% uranium recovery in gravity separation and up to a 98% uranium recovery using carbonate POX after grinding to 100 microns.

 

 

 

  • The Company’s permits were increased to two five-year Class-“A” permits for an additional 100,000 meters of drilling at Eldorado & Glacier Lake and 100,000 meters at Contact Lake for exploration drilling.

 

  • The Company has submitted a formal application to the Sahtu Land and Water Board for a third, five year 75,000 meter drill permit covering the recently discovered Eldorado South radiometric anomaly situated on the Eldorado South uranium claims. The Company expects permit approval shortly.

Direct contribution | contributed by admin - Sep 16 - Alberta Star Development Corp.
http://www.lineargoldcorp.com

Alberta Star Development Corp., (the “Company”) listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (ASX) and on the OTCBB (ASXSF), is pleased to announce that the Company has staked a number of new and highly prospective uranium targets after reviewing the results of the Company’s recently completed Regional High Resolution Aeromagnetic Gradiometer-radiometric Survey over the Eldorado & Contact Lake uranium belts (NR Aug 30, 2006). The Eldorado West uranium claims consist of four claims west of the 100% wholly owned Eldorado South uranium claims located south of the Eldorado uranium mine on the east side of Great Bear Lake, NT and 423 miles north of the city of Yellowknife, and consists of 4,177.09 hectares (10,321.77 acres). The recent staking activity increases the size of the Company’s regional land portfolio to over 39,671.83 hectares (98,027.77 acres).

 

 

The Company is currently undertaking its 2007 Phase-2 IOCG & Uranium Drilling Program which is designed to expand recently discovered mineralized zones, determining continuity and orientation, locating higher grade extensions of IOCG and uranium mineralization, and preliminary testing of the remaining, untested mineralized and altered zones within the Eldorado & Contact Lake project areas.

 

The Eldorado & Contact Lake regions and are characterized by poly-metallic mineralization that may be amenable to either bulk tonnage or underground poly-metallic mining techniques.

 

RE-PRICES STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s Board of Directors has resolved to re-price an aggregate of 3,250,000 stock options previously granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company of which 1,825,000 stock options were granted to directors and senior officers of the Company. The Board of Directors has resolved to re-price options from $1.57 per share to $0.85 per share and extend the original two year expiry date to three years. Each re-priced option represents the right to purchase one common share of the Company at an option price of $0.85 per share for a period of three years. The option amendments are subject to disinterested shareholder and TSX Venture Exchange approval.

 

THE ELDORADO URANIUM MINE – ELDORADO URANIUM DISTRICT

 

The Eldorado Uranium Mine formerly mined and produced 15 million pounds of uranium at an average head grade of 0.75% U308 and 8 million ounces of silver plus, copper, nickel, radium, polonium and lead at the Eldorado - Port Radium area commencing in 1933. (Normin NTGO: SENES Report 2005) The Eldorado Mine has approximately 25 miles of existing underground workings developed on fourteen levels and was formerly one of Canada’s principal producers of high grade uranium pitchblende concentrates from the 1930’s to the 1960’s. The Echo Bay mine produced over 23,779,178 million ounces of silver at an average head grade of approximately 66 ounces per ton prior to its closure in 1982.

 

The Company has assembled an experienced IOCG & uranium technical team with advanced uranium exploration expertise, whom believe the Eldorado & Contact Lake district has the potential to host both Olympic Dam and volcanic hosted styles of copper, gold, and uranium deposits. The current September 14, 2007 spot price for uranium provided by the Ux Consulting Company LLC (www.uxc.com) is now $90.00 US per pound
