Statement of Lanny J. Davis, Counsel to Kingsbarn Realty Capital
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2026 / Over the last six months, Kingsbarn Realty Capital and I have been working directly and cooperating with National Park Service staff at Yosemite National Park in California to provide safe access from the Hazel Green property to the park entrance - which is supportive of environmental values, since it will reduce air pollution from the longer, less safe route. I have been a progressive Democrat and a pro-environmentalist all my life. Working with these Yosemite Park Service professionals, and always seeking a pro-environmental, community-supported decision, we identified a land exchange for an access road under a half mile. This land exchange mechanism is expressly provided for under federal law and will not reduce the land area of the park.

That identity can be connected to a secure digital record documenting the silver's composition, origin, provenance and chain of custody, creating a new layer of certification that travels with the asset itself.
