Yes, drops, including resources, will be removed if they are ignored for too long, though it's not based on the amount of time, but rather the number of drops. Basically, there's a limit to how many drops of each type can be present at once, and when drops occur that would push over these limits, older drops of that type are deleted.

This happens for performance reasons, as otherwise the game would become bogged down by the ever-increasing number of pickup entities on the map.
