              TIMET ANNOUNCES EFFECTIVE DATE OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

     DENVER,  COLORADO . . . February 13, 2003 . . . Titanium Metals Corporation
("TIMET"  or the  "Company")  (NYSE:  TIE)  announced  today  that  the NYSE had
approved its  Supplemental  Listing  Application,  which was a  prerequisite  to
effecting TIMET's reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will be effective
at 5:00 pm E.S.T.  on Friday,  February 14, 2003, so, when trading  commences on
Tuesday, February 18, 2003, it will be on a post-reverse split basis.

     Previously,  TIMET announced the exchange ratio for the reverse stock split
