Metal cannot be extracted from Gold, as Gold itself is a metal.
It occurs naturally on earth, but not as native metal as gold does. It must be extracted from ores.
Gold is one of the few metals that is found as pure metal in the ground. It can be extracted from the rock containing it by mechanical or chemical processes.
Iron is extracted from haematite.
Aluminium is extracted from alumina.
Gold is extracted from the earth itself, near the place underground where coal miners work.
Gold has been extracted from seawater, but the cost is not worth the effort for the very small amount that can be obtained.
Lithium is extracted as the molten metal by a process of electrolysis.

No, ore is not the crudest form of metal. Ore refers to a naturally occurring rock or mineral from which a metal or valuable mineral can be extracted. The crudest form of metal is typically the metal in its raw state after it has been extracted from the ore and before it has been processed or refined.
Metals like iron, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and gold are typically extracted from metal ores. Ore processing involves separating the desired metal from the ore through processes like smelting and refining.
Gold is native in the reactivity series, meaning it is found in its elemental form in nature without needing to be extracted from a compound.
