This is one of those things where it’s easier to do than to explain.

First, though, this will make a difference: Is it a vector or raster mask?

Maybe the terms are a bit confusing.

Let’s say you have made a selection. I do not know of any way of copying a selection to antoher image directly (which does not mean there isn’t one). But you can go indirectly:

Save the selection (then it is called an alpha-channel). You can save the selection directly into a channel of another image if that is opened already. Or you save the channel in first image and copy it into the second image. Then you transfer channel -> selection (load channel as selection).

If you start not with a selection, but with a layer mask, I recommend a similar way: Copy Layer mask to channel, copy channel to other image, copy channel to layer mask there.
