Organize neatly, rename the solid body and put the part in a folder

make your split plane visible, select the mold block and the plance then go through Insert > Features > Split

you should now be set and have your mold base, youll have two separate files for the halves.
-
open both mold halves separately to make a small interlocking lip. good experience:
3mm wide, 3mm deep on one side,
2.5mm wide with a distance of 0.25mm on the other side, 2mm exposed, add slight champfer
-
Create screwholes for securely tightening the mold and create air/filling chambers
