Warren E. Fenzi, a former president of the mining and manufacturing company Phelps Dodge, died on Sunday at his home in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was 87.

Mr. Fenzi had a 43-year career in copper mining, beginning in 1937 when he joined Phelps Dodge. He helped develop the giant open pit mine at Morenci, Ariz., which supplied copper to the military during World War II and remains one of the principal copper producing operations in North America. He supervised company operations in Arizona and New Mexico and mines in Australia, South Africa and Peru.

After serving with the Navy during World War II, Mr. Fenzi returned to Phelps Dodge and eventually moved to its headquarters in New York.

Phelps Dodge named him president in 1975. He retired in 1980, continuing as a director until 1983.

Warren Emanuele Fenzi was born in Santa Barbara on Aug. 4, 1915. He was a graduate of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and completed an advanced management program at Harvard Business School.

Mr. Fenzi married Eleanor Huse Leeds on July 12, 1940; she died in 1998.

He is survived by three sons, Charles, of Roswell, N.M.; Warren, of Prescott, Ariz.; David, of Las Vegas, N.M.; two daughters, Joan Fenzi and Louise Fenzi-Haag, of Tucson; and six grandchildren.
