Using Inductively Coupled Plasma analysis (ICP), an average of 15 ppm (parts per million) mercury was found in the gold after the gold-mercury amalgam, with more than 300 000 ppm mercury, was burned to volatilize (rogado) the mercury. From 12,3 to 13,9 ppm mercury was found in worked gold foils from Huaca la Ventana, a Middle Sicán (A. D. 900-1200) site at Lambayeque, Perú and low levels of mercury were found in pre-contact gold foils from Colombia (1-12 ppm). Similarly low levels of mercury in the analyses of modern refogado gold and pre-contact gold foils are consistent with a comparable, ancient small-scale mining technology that would have used mercury to amalgamate the fine-grained gold; and then, as now, ***burning the amalgam to volatilize** the mercury and beautify and recover the gold.
Utilizando el análisis llamado Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP), un promedio de 15 ppm (partes por millón) de mercurio fue encontrado en el oro después de que la amalgama oro-mercurio (>300 000 ppm de mercurio) haya sido quemada o refogada para volatilizar el mercurio, en las tiendas modernas de oro en Madre de Dios, Perú. De 12,3 a 13,9 ppm de mercurio fue encontrado en láminas de oro trabajado en Huaca la Ventana, Sican Medio (900-1200 d. C.), Lambayeque, Perú y bajos niveles de mercurio fueron encontrados en las láminas pre-contacto de oro de Colombia (1-12 ppm) y Ecuador. Asimismo, los bajos niveles de mercurio medidos en el análisis ICP de oro refogado moderno (charapitas) y precontacto (láminas de oro) son consistentes con los valores esperados utilizando una antigua tecnología de pequeña minería. Para eso se usa métodos de separación por gravedad y de amalgama de mercurio para el tratamiento del grano fino y vena de oro de los lavaderos, y entonces, como ahora, ***el refogado de la amalgama hace volitilizar el mercurio***, para embellecer y recuperar el oro.

Discussion
Amalgam = Mercury + Metal.
The result of heating the amalgam thus eliminating the Mercury is "refogado".
The "refogado" is Mercury free therefore it cannot be an amalgam.
