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.
Is coal an ore?
== An ore would be a rock formation rich enough in particular minerals to be economically excavated and extracted for those particular minerals or elements. The extraction of minerals is not the predominant purpose of coal excavation. The main use of coal is for generation of power through burning. Rather than an ore it is considered a fuel.

Why were least reactive elements discovered before more reactive elements?
The simple reason is that least reactive elements are mostly found in their native state while reactive elements are found in combined state (in form of their compounds). It is easier to extract any element in it's native or elementary form. Such elements can be easily separated from their ore. They are separated by using physical processes. Reactive elements need to be extracted from their minerals through chemical processes which are more expensive and tedious.
