So while humans knew about aluminium compounds they only discovered how to extract aluminium metal in the late 1800s Aluminium can be extracted uneconomically from some clays but the most common aluminium ore is a material called bauxite First the aluminium ore needs to be mined then the bauxite is refined into alumina aluminium oxide
