i think it's same as extracting other metals because it demands same types of chemicals and instruments.
in a differing opinion:
Aluminum is extracted from refined bauxite (alumina - Al2O3) through an electro-chemical process. It is extremely expensive to produce primary aluminum due to the large amounts of electricity required to break apart the aluminum molecules from the oxygen molecules and keep it from back reacting.
Recycling of aluminum is only about 5% of the cost of primary aluminum production in electrical energy.
The costs of extracting aluminum or any metal is 70% to 95% of the current market value. Aluminium is selling at about $1500/tonne, then the cost of extracting it can be around $1200/tonne.

You extract it form its ore. For titanium you use the kroll process and for aluminum you use electrolysis.
Aluminum Bronze Turnings 0.58 1.16 lbs USD Aluminum Bronze Solids 1.74 2.32 lbs USD
Aluminum costs around 0.154323583 cents per gram. This fluctuates up and down along with the price of metals and aluminum.
people are often under the misconception that aluminum is not very abundant because when compared to some other widely used metals it is expensive. aluminum is in fact the most abundant metal found on earth however does not exist free in nature. all aluminum isotopes have bonded with other elements and here in lies the cost. the production of aluminum is expensive because the process to extract and purify it is considerably higher than other metals. to answer your question the cost has gone down due to advancements in metallurgy and technology that have driven the cost of production down. it's still not cheap relatively speaking especially when you start dealing with higher grades like those used in aircraft.
The Cost of Aluminum is about a dollar per pound.

No, aluminum is a metal. It needs large amounts of energy to extract it from its ores.
You extract it form its ore. For titanium you use the kroll process and for aluminum you use electrolysis.
