Iron is extracted from haematite.

Iron is bonded to six oxygen ligands.
Metal cannot be extracted from Gold, as Gold itself is a metal.
Iron is mainly extracted from haematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite(Fe3O4).
Aluminium is extracted from alumina.
Haematite is an Iron ore (Fe2O3). Therefore, it stands to reason that the metal extracted is iron. Haema- is a prefix used to indicate that the word has something to do with blood; in this case, its colour. Incidentally, oxygenated blood is red because it contains iron. Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) (rust) is red.
Metals are extracted from ores. An ore is a rock that contains enough of a mineral (metal compound) for the metal to be extracted from it. Most metals are extracted from an ore by reduction with carbon or by electrolysis.
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.
