Alberta Star Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ASX)(OTCBB: ASXSF)(FRANKFURT: QLD) announces that, due to unforeseen regulatory complications in the United States, where Alberta Star is a reporting foreign private issuer under United States federal law, it has elected not to proceed with its previously announced change of business to an investment issuer. The Company will remain a mineral exploration issuer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and will continue to pursue and evaluate opportunities to enhance shareholder value.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as the term is defined in the Policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
