                    TIMET BOARD APPROVES REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

     DENVER,  COLORADO . . . November 13, 2002 . . . Titanium Metals Corporation
("TIMET" or the "Company")  (NYSE:  TIE) announced  today the Company's Board of
Directors has unanimously approved a reverse split of TIMET's common stock, $.01
par value per share, at a ratio ranging from  one-for-eight  up to and including
one-for-ten. The reverse stock split proposal will be submitted to the Company's
stockholders at an upcoming  special meeting called for that purpose.  The date,
time and place of the  stockholder's  meeting will be announced once determined.
Assuming stockholder  approval,  the Board will determine the applicable reverse
split ratio and effect the reverse stock split at that ratio.

which the Company's  outstanding 6.625% Convertible Preferred Securities convert
into TIMET common  stock,  as well as all stock options  convertible  into TIMET
common  stock,  would be  adjusted  proportionately.  The Board also  approved a
reduction  in the number of shares the Company is  authorized  to issue from 100
million to 10 million.
