Aluminum is extracted from bauxite ore.
Aluminum metal can be extracted from bauxite ore through a process called the Bayer process. Bauxite is a major source of aluminum because it contains a high concentration of aluminum hydroxide minerals.
Bauxite is the natural ore from which aluminum is extracted.
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.
Bauxite was first extracted in 1821 by Pierre Berthier in Les Baux-de-Provence, France.
Bauxite is primarily a source of aluminum, which is extracted to manufacture various products, including cans, foil, and aircraft components. Hematite is a major source of iron ore, from which iron is extracted for use in steel production and construction. Both bauxite and hematite are classified as ore minerals because they contain valuable metals that can be economically extracted and processed.

alumina
Bauxite is the ore of aluminium, from which aluminium is is extracted.
99% of aluminum is extracted from the ore bauxite.
It is the ore that aluminum is extracted from.
bauxite->alumina->aluminium
No, aluminum comes from Bauxite.
