I have to say I have a hard time believing they are the same people. They seem like a legitimate startup in Canada. Also their 10g gold cube contest, one which I was a winner of has their name embossed into the gold. Seems like a lot of work compared to what is being claimed at a previous incarnation? Did the domain expire and get used by the now new bitgold.com?

Well I do imagine it is a different startup. But I was just pointing out the domain history and the link. I did find this though - https://web.archive.org/web/20140209215245/http://www.bitgold.com/

Also the whois shows it was updated (could be details like company or could be a transfer) and now has the status clientTransferProhibited. This would however have to have been manually asked to be put back on after a transfer. When I have transferred domains in the past clientTransferProhibited needs to be removed so transfer can commence. It seems to have expired and been bough back in 2006.

I have sent them a few questions anyway asking for further info just to see if they say any different.
