You could use Transpose to get the lists of x- and y-coordinates, each 
in one list, and then find min and max;
like this

lst = Array[{Random[], Random[]} & , 10];
t = Transpose[lst];
(Max[#1] & ) /@ t
(Min[#1] & ) /@ t
Out[128]=
{0.8925679798969234, 0.9646159435193661}
Out[129]=
{0.2203449244291362, 0.21003593197684423}
