A metal can be extracted from its oxide by the process of reduction. Reduction of metal oxides usually involves heating it with some other substance acting as a reducing agent (C or CO or even other metal)
             
                            MxOy + yC  --------->  xM + yCO
 
(approve if the solution proves to be of any help)
