aluminum bonds strongly to oxygen, and cannot be removed through conventional smelting. For this reason, electrolosys is used on molten alumina (Al2O3) to separate the aluminum from the oxygen.

How minerals recovered or extracted from their ores?
The methods used to extract minerals from ores vary; each ore has its own suitable method(s) of extraction. For example, iron can be extracted from its ore through the blast furnace method, while more reactive minerals (such as aluminum) may need to be extracted through electrolysis.

An Ore.
Is aluminum mined?
bauxite is mined. it is then melted and aluminum is extracted by high temperature electrolysis of the molten bauxite.
Why all ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores?
It is so because metals cannot be extracted from minerals in a convenient way. E.g.:- Aluminum metal is found in both minerals: clay and bauxite. Aluminum metal is extracted only from bauxite in a convenient way. So, bauxite is an ore of aluminum. On the other hand, it is not extracted from clay so clay remains only as mineral not ore of aluminum.
What do you call rocks and minerals that contain elements extracted through mining?
Rocks and Minerals that contain elements extracted through mining are called Ores. The rocks that contain the minerals are called ores, The minerals that they contain are called ore minerals, and are extracted to be processed in order to recover whatever element it is that is being mined.

How minerals mined?
Depends on what the mineral is, and where it is located. Some are mined by conventional surface mining with power shovels, some are mined in underground mines, and some are mined by drilling a shaft, and pumping a solvent (maybe water) into the ground- the mineral is dissolved in the solvent, and pumped back up again. It is then extracted from the solvent.
