The question seems to be incomplete and vague. So, I am giving a general answer regarding the extraction of Copper and Aluminum from its ores.
Copper is a highly reactive metal. So, it is extracted from its ores in its impure form by burning in the presence of carbon. Pure copper can then be obtained by performing electrolysis, in which the cathode will be pure copper, the anode will be impure copper and the electrolyte will be copper sulphate solution.
Aluminum is present abundantly in the form of its Bauxite ore in the Earth. Bauxite is purified to yield Aluminum oxides in its simplest forms, which are then subjected to electrolysis to give pure aluminium.
