Alberta Star Announces Approval of Normal Course Issuer Bid

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 6, 2014) - Alberta Star Development Corp. (TSX-VENTURE:ASX)(OTCBB:ASXSF)(FRANKFURT:QLD) (the "Company") announces that it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") for its previously announced normal course issuer bid (the "Bid"). Pursuant to the Bid, the Company will purchase for cancellation, from time to time, as it considers advisable, up to 1,700,000 of its issued and outstanding common shares, being approximately 7.85% of the Company's currently outstanding common shares and approximately 9.66% of the Company's Public Float (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange). The Bid will commence on May 7, 2014 and will terminate on May 6, 2015, or such earlier time as the Bid is completed or at the option of the Company. Jordan Capital Markets Inc. of Vancouver, British Columbia will conduct the Bid on behalf of the Company.

The Bid will be conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the Exchange. Purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the Exchange. During the previous 12 months, the Company purchased 467,500 of its common shares pursuant to a normal course issuer bid at a weighted average price per common share of $0.17. In accordance with Exchange policies, the Company will include a summary of the Bid in the management information circular to be mailed to shareholders of the Company in respect of its next meeting of shareholders, which mailing is expected to take place in June, 2014.

The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the current and recent market prices for the Company's common shares do not give full effect to their underlying value and that, accordingly, the purchase of common shares under the Bid will increase the proportionate share interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. The normal course purchases will also afford an increased degree of liquidity to current shareholders who would like to dispose of their shares and will serve to stabilize the market price for the Company's shares.
