How could you determine if a mineral is pyrite or?

If you mean pyrite or gold- gold is soft- pyrite is brittle. Gold melts easily- pyrite does not. Acid dissolves pyrite, but not gold. Finally- you may have heard "All that glitters is not gold".

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.
