No, iron pyrite, unlike iron, is not malleable at all. It is a hard, inflexible rock.

I think you may mean non-malleable. A malleable material is able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking, like gold, copper, aluminum. Non-malleable is the opposite- if you hammer it, it will crack or shatter- like glass, iron pyrite, cast iron.

How can you extract iron ore from iron pyrite?

It's possible to do so (if you mean extract iron from iron pyrite) , but because pyrite is exothermic, it creates a hazard in mines. Also, it is much more economical to extract iron from other minerals. Pyrite is also geologically unstable, and will eventually turn into sulfurous minerals and actually viable iron ores, so it is best left for future mines. Pyrite is really only worth it for making sulfuric acid or jewelry.
